Table 2 Activation and inactivation parameters of INa. Parameters of the Boltzman fits to the activation and inactivation curves. Each individual cell was fit with a single (activation) or double (inactivation) Boltzman function and the indicated parameters pooled for statistical comparison using Student’s independent t-test. V50 act is the midpoint at which 50% of the channels were activated. V50 inact are the midpoints for the two components of the inactivation curve. *denotes statistically significant difference, p < 0.05.
