Mean ± SEM values (with number of cells) are presented and compared by one-way ANOVA [F (df)], with main effect of cell group indicated by ** (p < 0.01).
↵a–cPost-hoc Bonferroni-corrected pairwise differences in means are indicated between groups by corresponding letters.
↵dAccording to long axis of cell body measured in whole cells (n = 69).
↵eMeasured at base of first zero crossing.
↵fMeasured at base of second zero crossing.
