CO2/H+ responsiveness for GFP-LC neurons during hypercapnic acidosis and hypocapnic alkalosis
Condition | n | pH | Firing Rate, % of Control |
---|---|---|---|
Acidosis stimulated | |||
Control (5% CO2) | 31 | 7.43±0.03 | 100.0±0.00 |
Acidosis (9% CO2) | 31 | 7.19±0.04 | 250.6±30.2* |
Alkalosis (3% CO2) | 14 | 7.64±0.03 | 69.8±5.11* |
Acidosis insensitive | |||
Control (5% CO2) | 5 | 7.42±0.01 | 100.0±0.00 |
Acidosis (9% CO2) | 5 | 7.21±0.01 | 105.9±1.34 |
Values are means ± SE.
Values are statistically different from control (P < 0.001).
