Figure 5: BFΔ that lacks PSA when applied to the epithelium did not alter IPAN excitability.

Figure 5

(a,b) AP firing threshold (P=0.5, paired-Student’s t-test) and number of APs (P=0.5, Wilcoxon matched-pairs test) discharged at twice threshold appeared unaltered by BFΔ. (c,d) BFΔ did not change IPAN RMP (P=0.08, paired-Student’s t-test) or gleak (P=0.7, paired-Student’s t-test); nor (e,f) were the sAHP AUC (P=0.1, paired-Student’s t-test), paired-Student’s t-test) or AP1/2w (P=0.1, paired-Student’s t-test) altered.
