Values are presented as means + s.e.m.; p values are for two-tailed t tests assessing effects of DIDS.

Capacitance of AE1 +/+ cells (n=8) was 2.53±0.72 pF and 2.25±0.65 pF in absence and presence of DIDS, respectively.

Capacitance of AE1 -/- cells (n=8) was 1.73±0.47 pF and 1.06±0.36 pF in absence and presence of DIDS, respectively.
