Figure 2. Outward currents are higher density in male and ovariectomized (OVX) mice compared with females.

Figure 2

Typical recordings of outward currents elicited from colonic myocytes isolated from male (A), female (B) and OVX female (C) mice. To elicit outward currents, colonic myocytes were held at −80 mV and stepped to test potentials ranging from −80 to +50 mV in 10 mV increments (A–C). Comparison of outward current density revealed that current density in males and OVX females was significantly higher than that of females (D and E). Current density in male and OVX mice were not different at any of the tested potentials (F).
