Effect of PIP2 on gM in BFSG C-cells

Initial IM at 30 sec (pA) IM at 4 min (pA)
ATP-free internal (n = 7) 621.5 ± 77.3 519.7 ± 91.4 (n.s.)
ATP-free internal + PIP2 824.4 ± 242.2 721.6 ± 233.4 (n.s.)
(20 μm; n = 5) (n.s. vs ATP-free)
ATP-free internal (n = 9) 817.3 ± 89.0 864.4 ± 92.2 (n.s.)
ATP-free internal + PIP2 734.2 ± 130.8 882.9 ± 162.3 (p < 0.02)
(100 μm; n = 11) (n.s. vs ATP-free)
  • Paired t tests were used to compare current amplitudes at 30 sec and 4 min in each cell studied. Unpaired t tests were used to compare differences between groups of cells after 4 min of recording under various experimental conditions. Whole-cell recordings were used in all cases. n.s., Not significant.
