Effect of L-methionine on the RMP and the IJP of murine lower oesophageal sphincter circular smooth muscle

RMP (mV) fIJP amplitude (mV) fIJP duration (ms) sIJP amplitude (mV) sIJP duration (ms)
Control (n= 4) 40.4 ± 2.9 23.0 ± 1.8 611 ± 63 4.1 ± 1.2 10 522 ± 1101
L-methionine (n= 4) 30.0 ± 3.0* 20.0 ± 3.6 567 ± 51 3.9 ± 1.3 10 910 ± 1013
*

P= 0.03 versus control.

IJP, inhibitory junction potential; RMP, resting membrane potential; fIJP, fast inhibitory junction potential; sIJP, slow inhibitory junction potential.
