Fig. 7. Effects of S1P and of chemical treatments on membrane current and conductance. Voltage-clamp step pulses between –80 and 0 mV in 10 mV steps from a holding potential of –60 mV were applied to the cells for 100 milliseconds. Representative current traces in control (A) and after S1P (B), GdCl3 (C), S1P + GdCl3 (D), DHCB (E) and S1P + DHCB (F) treatments. G, normalized Im versus Vm plots in Control condition ({blacksquare}) and after S1P ({bullet}) or GdCl3 ({triangleup}) or S1P + GdCl3 ({blacktriangleup}) or DHCB({diamond}) or S1P + DHCB({diamondsuit}) treatment. The best linear regression lines are superimposed on control (continuous line) and the other experimental conditions (dashed lines). The calculated Cm, Gm and Gm/Cm values for all experimental conditions are reported in Table 1. Data are the mean±s.e.m.
