The pHi recovery from an acid load in the nominal absence of CO2/HCO3 − is sensitive to EIPA. (A) Effect of EIPA on the pHi recovery from an acid load. An astrocyte was acid loaded by applying and withdrawing 20 mM NH3/NH4 + (a–d). EIPA (10 μM) was present during the pHi recovery (de). (B) The pHi dependence of acid extrusion in the absence (circles) and presence (open squares) of 10 μM EIPA. (inset) The pHi dependence of the EIPA-sensitive component of acid extrusion (closed squares). These data were obtained by subtracting the open squares in the main panel from the open circles.
