Protective effect of hypothermia on brain potassium homeostasis during repetitive anoxia in Drosophila melanogaster
2012
Journal of Experimental Biology
Oxygen deprivation in nervous tissue depolarizes cell membranes, increasing extracellular potassium concentration ([K + ] o ). Thus, [K + ] o can be used to assess neural failure. The effect of temperature (17, 23 or 29°C) on the maintenance of brain [K + ] o homeostasis in male Drosophila melanogaster (w1118) individuals was assessed during repeated anoxic comas induced by N 2 gas. Brain [K + ] o was continuously monitored using K + -sensitive microelectrodes while body temperature was changed
