The alterations in single action potential–induced responses demonstrated in Fig. 2 were quantified by nonlinear regression analysis. The relaxation phases of baseline-subtracted and peak-normalized free [Ca2+] and Ca2+ release flux traces were fitted by a dual exponential function: f(t) = (1 − A2) · exp[−(tt0)/τ1] + A2 · exp[−(tt0)/τ2]. The fit interval was 100 ms and started when traces had decreased by 5% of their peak value. Errors, SEM; n, number of experiments. P-values refer to changes caused by halothane.
