Comparison of pEC50 and Rmax values for arecoline-stimulated [3H]IPx accumulation in CHO-M1 cells after a 24-h pretreatment with oxo-M, AC-42, pilocarpine, or vehicle

CHO-M1 cells were treated as described in the legend to Fig. 7. pEC50 values are shown as −log M values, and Rmax values are given as a percentage of the maximal response to arecoline in vehicle-treated control cells.
