Effects 5-HT receptor-derived peptides on the T-type currents and their modulation by 5-HT. A, Time series measurements of T-type currents in a neuron loaded with Ci3 peptide. There was no rundown during the time series recordings, and 5-HT (1 μm) still reversibly inhibited the T-type currents. B, Time series measurements of T-type currents in a neuron loaded with Ni3 peptide. There is very little rundown during the time series recordings; 5-HT (1 μm) also caused reversible inhibition on T-type currents. C, Summary of the inhibition of T-type currents by 5-HT in cells loaded with different synthetic peptides (n.s. vsControl). D, The mean time series measurements in cells loaded with different synthetic peptides (○, I4; •, Ni3; ▵, Ci3; ▴, I2). No rundown of the T current is apparent with any peptide.
