Fig. 9. The effects of forskolin and 1,9-dideoxyforskolin on odorant-evoked
responses. (A) Representative electro-olfactogram (EOG) recordings to a
mixture of 100 µmol l1 L-amino acids (AA; alanine,
arginine, glutamate and methionine), polyamines (PA; 20 µmol
l1 putrescine, cadaverine and 2 µmol l1
spermine) and 10 µmol l1 bile salts (BS; sodium
taurocholate and taurolithocholate) prior to (i), during (ii) and after (iii)
adaptation to 7 µmol l1 forskolin (For). DS, dimethyl
sulfoxide; C, CFTW control). (B) Representative EOG recordings to 100 µmol
l1 AA, 1 µmol l1 BS and PA (10 µmol
l1 putrescine, cadaverine and 1 µmol l1
spermine) during adaptation to 20 µmol l1
1,9-dideoxyforskolin (De). (C) Percentage of unadapted response (mean ±
S.D.) to mixtures of L-amino acids (50500 µmol
l1), polyamines (120 µmol l1),
bile salts (1050 µmol l1), forskolin control and
ATP (3040 µmol l1) during adaptation to forskolin
(520 µmol l1). Numbers associated with each bar
indicate the number of fish tested for each odorant. The adapting solution is
underlined. X, Y and Z designate statistical significance across groups
(one-way ANOVA; Tukey's post hoc test, P<0.05).
