TABLE 2

Neurosteroid-mediated potentiation of tonic currents by 1 uM GABA

Values derived from fold potentiation of mean, normalized tonic current response to 1 uM GABA, (INS/IGABA). INS is the mean, normalized tonic current response to neurosteroid at the given concentration plus 1 uM GABA from Figure 6 Tonic current responses were recorded from voltage-clamped (−65 mV) DGGCs from WT, female (diestrous stage) mice. All mean values are representative of four to eight cells per neurosteroid and concentration.
