Figure 7.

Expanded, overlapped plot of phase from high and low chloride conditions. Red symbols are from OHCs with 140 mM Cl intracellular pipette solutions, and blue symbols with 1 mM Cl solutions. Asterisks denote significantly different phases (p < 0.05, t-test, 2-tailed). Red dashed line is estimated membrane voltage phase under high chloride condition, and the blue dashed line under the 1 mM Cl condition. Regardless of chloride condition, the stretched exponential behavior of prestin results in phase lags in eM versus membrane voltage. Data from Fig. 6. To see this figure in color, go online.
