Figure 3. Cholesterol depletion with MβCD reduces calcium-sensitive outward currents (IK(Ca)) in hair cells.

Figure 3

(A) Representative traces illustrate the reduction of calcium-sensitive outward currents following MβCD treatment. IK(Ca) was defined by subtracting the response to calcium-free from control extracellular solution. (B) Current-voltage (I−V) curves show reduced IK(Ca) following MβCD treatment (p<0.001, ANOVA). (C) Steady-state I−V curves for K+ currents recorded in calcium-free external solution show a comparatively lesser reduction following MβCD treatment (p<0.001, ANOVA).
