Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The mechanism of the action of acetylcholine (ACh) on the L-type calcium current (I) was examined using a whole-cell voltage-clamp technique in single sino-atrial myocytes from the rabbit heart. ACh depressed basal I at concentrations in the range 0.05-10 μM, without previous β-adrenergic stimulation. The ACh-induced reduction of I was reversed by addition of atropine, indicating that muscarinic receptors mediate it. Incubation of cells with a solution containing pertussis toxin led to abolition of the ACh effect, suggesting that this effect is mediated by G proteins activated by muscarinic receptors. Dialysis of cells with protein kinase inhibitor or 5′-adenylyl imidodiphosphate, inhibitors of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, decreased basal I by about 85% and suppressed the effect of ACh. The ACh effect was also absent in cells dialysed with a non-hydrolysable analogue of cAMP, 8-bromo-cAMP. The results suggest that, in basal conditions, a large part of the L-type calcium channels should be phosphorylated by protein kinase A stimulated by a high cAMP level correlated with a high adenylate cyclase activity. The depressing effect of ACh on I may occur via inhibition of the high basal adenylate cyclase activity leading to a decrease of cAMP-dependent protein kinase stimulation and thus to a dephosphorylation of calcium channels. © 1993 Springer-Verlag.
