Normal: data from SG3 and SG4 isolated from normal rats. SNL: data from SG3 and SG4 isolated 7 days after L5 spinal nerve ligation. LID: data from SG4 isolated 3–4 days after local inflammation of the DRG.
AP, action potential; Max dV/dt, maximum rate of voltage change during AP upstroke; peak AP, maximum voltage during AP; R m, membrane input resistance; V rest, resting membrane potential; Max #AP, maximum number of AP evoked by 270 ms suprathreshold stimulus.
* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; significantly different from normal value, Mann–Whitney test.
