GHSR1a activity inhibits native CaV2 currents from rat hypothalamic neurons. (A) Representative and averaged IBa from nontransfected (nt) and GFP-, GHSR1a-YFP–, and GHSR1a-A204E-YFP–transfected neurons. (B) Normalized IBa traces before (control) and after (+ghrelin) 500-nM ghrelin application, and averaged percentage of IBa inhibition by ghrelin in each condition. (C) IBa time courses of application of 1 µM ω-conotoxin-GVIA (conoTx) and 0.2 µM ω-agatoxin-IVA (agaTx) with or without previous 500-nM ghrelin application from GFP-, GHSR1a-, and GHSR1a-A204E–transfected neurons (left). Averaged percentage of IBa sensitive to agaTx and conoTx from nontransfected (nt), GFP-, GHSR1a-, and GHSR1a-A204E–transfected neurons, with (+ghrelin) or without 500-nM ghrelin application (right). (D) Representative and averaged INa from nontransfected (nt) and GFP-, GHSR1a-, and GHSR1a-A204E–transfected neurons. ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-test (A–D). *, P < 0.05. Error bars represent mean ± SE.
