Example sentences for: depolarizing

How can you use “depolarizing” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Current generated by the active population travels through the resistances of the extracellular space and of the nearby inactive cells, therefore producing the extracellular population spikes and meanwhile depolarizing the inactive cells.
The results obtained here in skeletal muscle demonstrate that absence of the γ 1 subunit increases Ca 2+current density, decreases the inactivation rate, and shifts the voltage-dependence of inactivation in the depolarizing direction.
To measure inactivation, cells were held at -80 mV, then stepped to a series of depolarizing (pre-pulse) voltages, from -70 mV to +70 mV in 10 mV increments, for 2.5 seconds to promote inactivation, then stepped to -50 mV for 100 ms to close non-inactivated channels, then stepped for 200 ms to the test potential of +20 mV to measure Ca 2+currents, then stepped to the -80 mV holding potential for 5 seconds to permit recovery from inactivation.
Whole-cell patch clamp currents recorded from a PGC-2 cell, in response to a series of six depolarizing test pulses of 1 s duration (step +20 mV) from a holding potential of -50 mV, before (left) and after (middle) application of 2 mM 4-aminopyridine (4-AP).
Moreover, increasing the abundance of TRPC3 in cultured myotubes prolongs the period in which intracellular calcium is elevated following a depolarizing stimulus, sustains the transcription factor NFAT within the nucleus, and augments expression of NFAT-dependent target genes [40].
