Ang II increases osmosensory gain in MNCs. A, Examples of voltage recordings obtained from isolated MNCs exposed to a +10 mosmol · kg⁻¹ hyperosmotic stimulus (black bar) in the absence (top) or presence (bottom) of 10⁻⁷ m Ang II (gray bar). B, Graph plotting the mean (±SEM) osmoreceptor potentials (depolarization) induced by osmotic stimuli applied in the absence and presence of Ang II. The solid lines are linear regressions through data points. C, Graph plotting the mean (±SEM) changes in firing rate (Δfiring) induced by osmotic stimuli applied in the absence and presence of Ang II. The lines are linear regressions through data points.
