Properties of spontaneous inward currents recorded in smooth muscle cells isolated from the rabbit portal vein

1. Characteristics of spontaneous transient inward currents (STICs) which produced membrane depolarization were analysed with the perforated patch technique in single smooth muscle cells isolated from the rabbit portal vein. 2. In K(+)-free solutions the amplitude of STICs was linearly related to me...
