Table 1.
Maximum values of ΔCm normalized to individual cell resting capacitance, expressed as percentage max ΔCm
Type III (n = 18) | Type II (n = 12) | Type I (n = 10) | |
---|---|---|---|
Resting Cm (pF) | 2.47 ± 0.17 | 3.79 ± 0.50 | 4.06 ± 0.57 |
Max ΔCm at +20 mV (fF) | 3.67 ± 0.59 | 0.32 ± 0.32 | 0.16 ± 0.73 |
% Max ΔCm at +20 mV | 0.16 ± 0.03 | 0.003 ± 0.012 | 0.012 ± 0.03 |
The cells included in this table represent only those cells whose change in Cm were measured. The percentage max ΔCm of type III taste cells is significantly different (p < 0.05; one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple-comparison test) from both type I and type II taste cells. The percentage max ΔCm values for type I and type II cells are not significantly different from each other.
