Abstract

Patch-clamp recording techniques were used to examine the effect of troglitazone upon visually identified neurones contained in slices from the rat ventromedial hypothalamus. Bath application of 1–50 μM troglitazone depolarised tolbutamide-sensitive neurones in a poorly reversible manner. In outside-out patches, troglitazone inhibited K ATP channel activity when added to the bath solution. It is concluded that troglitazone is a novel modulator of the type 2 K ATP channel. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
