Table 3. Membrane properties of isolated astrocytes from the CA1 region of the hippocampus from sham-operated (CTRL) rats and 1H and 7D after H/I.
Vrest (mV) | IR (MΩ) | Cm (pF) | n | |
CTRL | −71.3±1.9 | 296.3±78.2 | 18.5±2.4 | 9 |
1H H/I | −77.2±1.4 | 211.8±58.8 | 26.6±1.2** | 25 |
7D H/I | −71.3±2.7 | 265.3±55.0 | 19.7±2.7 | 8 |
The values are presented as mean ± S.E.M. Asterisks (**p<0.01) indicate very significant differences between astrocytes from control and ischemic rats. Abbreviations: resting membrane potential (Vrest), input resistance (IR), membrane capacitance (Cm), number of cells (n).
