| Research Abstract |
The involvement of K^+ channels in regulating secretion of amylase from isolated rat parotid acini was studied in conjunction with beta-adrenoceptor function.It was observed that increasing the concentration of extracellular K^+ or adding K^+ channel blockers enhanced the secretion of amylase.Among several K^+ channel blockers, tetraethylammonium, apamin and charybdotoxin were effective to enhance secretion by 48, 69, and 84%, respectively.Glibenclamide was without effect.A low concentration of noradrenaline (10^<-7> M) enhanced secretion by 154% and its simultaneous application with tetraethylammonium gave a synergistic effect, producing 371% stimulation.Combination of tetraethylammonium and a low concentration of carbachol (10^<-6> M) did not give the synergistic effect.Noradrenaline at the concentration of 10^<-6> M enhanced secretion by 313% and this was reduced to 116% by 10^<-3> M valinomycin, a K^+ ionophore.Valinomycin was without effect on carbachol (10^<-5> M)-induced secretion.Somatostatin (10^<-5> M) and morphine (10^<-4> M) also reduced noradrenaline-induced scretion of aimylase.These results suggested the regulation of Ca^<2+> -activated K^+ channels by noradrenaline in amylase secretory processes in parotid acini.
