Inhibition of Na+-dependent pHi recovery by cytosolic Na+. (A) Dependency of the Na+-dependent pHi recovery on pipette Na+. (B) The effects of inclusion of 20 mM NMDG+ in the Na+-free pipette solution, or of buffering intracellular and extracellular Ca2+ to zero by the inclusion of 20 mM 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (BAPTA) in the pipette solution and 1 mM EGTA in the bath solution. No Ca2+ was added to either solution.
