K+ currents in cerebral artery smooth muscle cells are not altered by 9-phenanthrol. A: representative spontaneous transient outward current (STOC) activity following administration of 9-phenanthrol (30 μM). B and C: STOC frequency (f; in Hz; B) and amplitude (pA; C) in presence and absence of 9-phenanthrol; n = 6. D: representative voltage-dependent K+ (KV) currents in absence and presence of 9-phenanthrol (30 μM). E: summary of mean current density (pA/pF) vs. voltage relationship of KV currents in vascular smooth muscle cells in absence and presence of 9-phenanthrol (30 μM); n = 5. F and G: representative inwardly rectifying K+ (KIR) currents in absence and presence of 9-phenanthrol (30 μM). H: summary of mean current density (pA/pF) at −80 mV for KIR currents in vascular smooth muscle cells in the presence and absence of 9-phenanthrol (30 μM); n = 4 for control; n = 3 for 9-phenanthrol.
