APs recorded during stimulation at a frequency of 0.2 Hz at 35°C.

  • RMP, resting membrane potential; AMP, AP amplitude; APD20, APD50, and APD90, APDs measured at 20, 50, and 90% of repolarization, respectively. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E. (n = 5). Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA.

  • 1-a p < .05 with Dunnett’s t test for post hoc comparison of the individual mean values with the control mean value.
