MeHg potentiates GABA-evoked currents mediated by either α1β2γ2S or α6β2γ2S receptors. A, Whole cell currents were recorded from oocytes expressing α1β2γ2S (Top) or α6β2γ2S (Bottom) in response to 5 or 1 μM GABA, respectively, at a holding potential of −60 mV in the absence and presence of 5 μM MeHg. B, Comparison of effects of MeHg on IGABA amplitude of the two receptor subtypes (n = 7). The asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference between control and MeHg treatment (p≤0.05). The number sign (#) indicates a significant difference between α1β2γ2S and α6β2γ2S receptors (p≤0.05).
