Uptake of 86Rb+ as a function of varying concentration of extracellular Rb+ (RbCl). As extracellular Rb+ concentration was increased, uptake of 86Rb+ was stimulated and subsequently became saturated in all groups. Kinetic parameters [maximal uptake (Vmax) and affinity (1/Km)] were obtained after the analysis of data with GraphPad Prism 7 software (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Values are represented as mean ± SEM, n = 6. Values not sharing common superscripted letters are significantly different at p < 0.01.
