Quantification of the relaxation time course of Ca2+ release after depolarization to −30 mV (the second response in the dual-pulse experiments of Fig. 6). The half time of relaxation was used for comparison. Ca2+ flux values were measured at the end of the depolarizing pulse. Errors, SEM; n, number of experiments. P-values refer to changes caused by halothane compared with measures before halothane application.
