Kinetic analyses of electrically evoked Ca2+ transients in intact FDB fibers after acute exposure to BTP2. (A–C) Representative mag-fluo-4 traces with the decay phase shown on an expanded time scale and fitted with a double exponential equation (green lines) from FDB fibers before exposure to DMSO (A), 10 µM BTP2 (B), or 20 µM BTP2 (C). Insets: Fitted parameters for each condition, including the fast and slow amplitudes of decay (Afast and Aslow), fast and slow time constants of decay (τfast and τslow), and goodness of fit values (R2). (D) Average (± SEM) maximal mag-fluo-4 transient rate of rise (Max dF/dt) before (0 min) and after (2 min) exposure to DMSO control (black), 10 µM BTP2 (blue), or 20 µM BTP2 (red). (E) Averaged (± SEM) peak amplitudes of the fast (Afast, solid bars) and slow (Aslow, checked bars) components of the decay phase of the mag-fluo-4 transient before and 2 min after exposure to DMSO control (black), 10 µM BTP2 (blue), or 20 µM BTP2 (red). (F and G) Average (± SEM) fast (τfast; F) and slow (τslow; G) time constants of the decay phase of the mag-fluo-4 transient before and 2 min after exposure to DMSO control (black), 10 µM BTP2 (blue), or 20 µM BTP2 (red). n = 12–36 cells from three to five mice for each group; two-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test. P = 0.37–0.99 for pairwise post hoc comparisons in D; P = 0.41–0.99 for pairwise comparisons in E; P = 0.08–0.99 for pairwise comparisons in F; P = 0.67–0.99 for post hoc comparisons in G.
