  • Li2CO3 prolongs cardiac action potential duration
    Name: Chintan Koyani
    Species: Guinea Pig
    Assay Type: In Vitro
    Cell Line/Tissue: Ventricular cardiomyocytes
    Verified Customer | Posted 10/23/2018
    Guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes were patched and stimulated at a 1 Hz frequency to record action potentials before and after Li2CO3 (10 and 30 µM). Li2CO3 significantly prolonged action potential duration at 20% and 90% repolarization levels.
