Action potential properties of female and male nociceptors. A. Representative action potential traces, obtained at rheobase, from female (left) and male (right) nociceptors. The dotted lines represent RMP in both neurons for comparison. B. Resting membrane potential is significantly more hyperpolarized in female neurons than in male neurons. C. However, the membrane potential threshold for action potential generation was not significantly different between the two populations. *** represents P<0.001 (two-tailed t-test)
