Control of Extracellular Potassium Levels by Retinal Glial Cell K + Siphoning

Open access
Newman, Eric A., Frambach, Donald A., Odette, Louis L.·1984·Science

Abstract

Efflux of K + from dissociated salamander Müller cells was measured with ion-selective microelectrodes. When the distal end of an isolated cell was exposed to high concentrations of extracellular K + , efflux occurred primarily from the endfoot, a cell process previously shown to contain most of the K + conductance of the cell membrane. Computer simulations of K + dynamics in the retina indicate that shunting ions through the Müller cell endfoot process is more effective in clearing local increases in extracellular K + from the retina than is diffusion through extracellular space.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
