The TZD effects on peak INa after prepulses to −130 mV (V0) or to a voltage at which approximately half the channels are in the fast-inactivated state (V1/2). The currents were measured after 1-min perfusion of the drug. Fractional peak INa was normalized to the control value. Right column of the table shows the effects of TZDs on steady-state inactivation (or Na+ channel availability h in the Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952, model). V1/2 values were determined in control after 1-min perfusion of the drug and after 2-min washout of the drug. All TZDs significantly shifted V1/2 toward hyperpolarized potentials. Stimulation protocols as described in detail in Materials and methods and can also be seen in Fig. 10.
