Effects of calcium ions on electrical responses of gastric gland cells to histamine and pentagastrin

The effect of Ca ions on electrical responses of gastric gland cells on histamine and pentagastrin was investigated using intracellular glass microelectrodes. It was established that in low-calcium solutions hyperpolarization induced by these secretagogues was diminished. In calcium-free solutions and in solutions with blockers of the calcium current hyperpolarization induced by histamine and pentagastrin was not observed. It was suggested that external calcium ions are necessary for
