Figure 7From: Subunit and frequency-dependent inhibition of Acid Sensing Ion Channels by local anesthetic tetracaineInhibition of voltage-gated Na+ current by acid. A. Representative current traces showing the inhibition of voltage-gated Na+ currents at pH 6.0 and 5.0 in DRG neurons. Neurons were held at -60 mV and stepped to potentials between −30 and −10 mV with 10 mV increments. B. Summary data showing that the peak Na+ currents at −30 mV were inhibited by acid (paired t test, n = 6; *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001).Back to article page
