Fig. 9. Dopamine and TPep-NLS decrease total whole cell current amplitude. (A)
Whole cell current recordings from CPE cells in a seawater bath. (B) Same cell
after exposure to 100 µmol l-1 dopamine. (C) Normalized
I-V 900 ms into voltage step reveals that dopamine (DA) reduces
current amplitude at all voltages that the currents are activated (before
dopamine, circles; after dopamine, squares; N=7). (C,inset) Dopamine
caused a significant decrease in maximum current amplitude at 73 mV
(N=7, P<0.001). (D) Whole cell current recordings from
CPE cells in a seawater bath. (E) Same cell after exposure to 10 µmol
l-1 TPep-NLS. (F) Normalized I-V 900 ms into voltage step
reveals that TPep-NLS reduces current amplitude at all voltages the currents
are activated (before TPep-NLS, squares; after TPep-NLS, circles;
N=7). (F,inset) TPep-NLS caused a significant decrease in maximum
current amplitude at 73 mV (N=10, P<0.001).
