Fig. 6. Effects of HAergic antagonists on the HA evoked-current in X-organ neurons.
(A–D) Current traces evoked by HA (5 µmol l–1, 10 s)
after, during and before the superfusion of H1 and H2 antagonists at the
indicated concentrations; all the records were obtained at a holding potential
of –40 mV, and the interval between pulses was 3 min. Note that in all
cases the blockage was reversible. (E) Normalized peak currents (mean ±
s.e.m.) versus log molar concentration of H1 and H2 antagonists
(4–6 observations per point; see the IC50 values in the
text). Squares, tiotidine; diamonds, cimetidine; circles, ranitidine;
triangles, mepyramine.
