  • Application of tetraethylammonium (TEA, 0.5 mM), ω-CTX GVIA (5 μM), or charibdotoxin ChTX; 50 nM) broadened the spike reducing the falling rate and the undershoot, suggesting a common action on I KCa. Moreover, ω-CTX GVIA reduced the overshoot, suggesting an involvement of I Ca in spike generation, whereas TEA increased the overshoot, suggesting an involvement of I KV in early spike repolarization. Data are reported as percent changes compared with control, and statistical significance of the changes is indicated (* P < 0.05;

  • P < 0.01). Data without symbols were considered not significant.
