Effects of Na salicylate on mechanotransducer currents. A, MET currents before and 15 min after 10 mm Na salicylate perfusion for the cell of Figure 6. The test MET currents were acquired after the records in Figure 6B when the nonlinear capacitance in response to depolarizing voltage steps had disappeared. P11 rat, Cs₂SO₄ intracellular, maximum MET current of 0.40 nA. B, MET currents before and 30 min after 10 mm Na salicylate perfusion. The test MET currents were acquired once the nonlinear capacitance had disappeared (data not shown). P7 rat, CsCl intracellular, maximum MET current of 0.73 nA.
