Fig. 6. Effect of 104 mol l1 DIDS on fluid
secretion rate, transepithelial potential (TEP), and intracellular pH in
106 mol l1 5-HT stimulated Malpighian
tubules. (A) Fluid secretion rate (mean ± s.e.m., N=9).
Tubules were exposed to DIDS (filled symbols) at the point indicated by the
arrow, or to the vehicle alone (open symbols).(B) Representative TEP
recording. The first arrow indicates the addition of 5-HT
105 mol l1. The second arrow indicates the
time of exposure to DIDS. (C) Intracellular pH before and 2 min after addition
of 104 mol l1 DIDS (mean + s.e.m.,
N=6).
