  • CCh induces a near maximum response in untreated cells. A decrease in the potency values was present in cells treated with 50 or 1 μg of TET suggesting the presence of receptor reserves. In cells treated 25, 50, or 1 μg TET, VU0364572 and VU0357017 induces an increase in Emax values. Both compounds were found to be more potent following treatment of cells across a range of TET concentrations. Values in parentheses are SEM.
