Figure 8. Effects of pre-treatment with pertussis toxin on the response to NPY.
Data represent percentage changes in the number of transported particles. Neuropeptide Y (NPY, 1 μM) was applied after pre-treatment (for 4 h) with pertussis toxin (200 ng ml−1), a G protein inhibitor. Note that pre-treatment with pertussis toxin blocked the inhibitory response to NPY.
