All events detected with amplitude >0.6 were included. Mean, average of individual cell averages. Reference and caffeine entries are the same as in Table , and were both calculated in the same experiments. Low Mg, experiments in permeabilized fibers; High Mg, cells under voltage clamp, after equilibration with a 7 mM Mg2+ internal solution.
