The effects of myricetin on hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons in rats were investigated. By whole-cell patch clamp detection in hypothalamic brain slices, we showed that the action potential frequency in type-I PVN neurons dose-dependently decreased after myricetin treatment. Further studies demonstrated that myricetin may enhance potassium currents and shifts the voltage-dependence of activation of potassium currents to more negative potentials by 6.07 mV. Using calcium free/cadmium perfusion solution could reverse myricetin-induced enhancement of potassium currents in PVN neurons. These results suggested that inhibition of hypothalamic PVN neurons by myricetin might be attributed to the enhancement of potassium currents.
