Fig 6. Extracellular Na+ influx is required to sustain ghrelin activation.

Fig 6

(A) Tetrodotoxin (TTX; 1 μM), an inhibitor of voltage-dependent Na+ channels, did not affect ghrelin induced [Ca2+]c increases. (B) The substitution of choline for Na+ rapidly and reversibly blocked the action of ghrelin. Ghrelin was applied at 200 pM (red bars). The traces are the mean values from 5–20 neurons.
