The Journal of Physiology, 1998 In frog pituitary melanotrophs, GABA induces a transient stimulation followed by prolonged inhibition of hormone secretion. This biphasic effect is inconsistent with the elevation of cytosolic calcium and the inhibition of electrical activity also provoked by GABA in single melanotrophs.

Voltage dependent ionic currents in frog cultured skeletal myocytes.
General physiology and biophysics, 1993 The voltage dependent ionic currents in cultured embryonic skeletal myocytes at stages of development ranging from 1 to 6 day were studied using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. Sodium (INa) and calcium (ICa) inward and potassium (IK) outward currents were observed at all stages. INa did not differ from that described in adult frog striated muscle
