Biophysical properties of capsaicin-sensitive nasal neurones
| Membrane potential (mV) | Membrane resistance (Ω) | Overshoot (mV) | Action potential rise rate (mV.ms−1) | AHP (ΔmV) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | −61.6 (±0.9) | 298 (±8) | 35.8 (±0.3) | 536 (±3) | −16.2 (±0.1) |
| LTD4 | −61.5 (±0.9) | 292 (±8) | 35.3 (±0.1) | 580 (±5)* | −16.3 (±0.1) |
Abbreviation: AHP, after hyperpolarization.
*Significant difference in biophysical property after application of LTD4 (500 nM) (P<0.001, n=5).
