Figure 6. Genetic deletion of Cav-1 results in an increase in Kir current but does not abrogate Kir cholesterol sensitivity in primary macrophages.

A, representative current traces of K⁺ currents in WT and Cav-1 KO BMDMs under control conditions and in cells depleted of cholesterol. B, average peak current densities at −97 mV of Kir currents under control and cholesterol depleted conditions (n = 26–30, *P < 0.05).
