Abstract

Lithium ion entry at low concentrations (1 to 5 mM) into an electrically active adrenergic clone of mouse neuroblastoma cells was stimulated by veratridine; and this stimulation was blocked by tetrodotoxin. These data provide biochemical evidence that lithium ions enter by way of the sodium channel which may be a major pathway for entry of this ion into electrically active cells.
