FIGURE 5.

5-HT induced Ca2+-dependent duodenal epithelial ion transports. (A) Time courses of 5-HT (10 μM) -evoked I sc or vehicle (DMSO) when added to serosal (s) or mucosal side. (B) When added to the serosal or mucosal side, vehicle or 5-HT-evoked I sc peak (n = 6). (C) Time courses of 5-HT-evoked I sc after extracellular Ca2+ omission (0 Ca2+) from each side in duodenal mucosal tissues. (D) 5-HT-evoked I sc peak after Ca2+ omission from each side (s or m, n = 6). Ctrl represents as the control in which normal extracellular Ca2+ was on both sides. Results are presented mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001 significantly different from the corresponding control by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post-test.
