Forskolin increases the dominant time constant of the PDE shut-off. Plot of the time of recovery from saturation (Trec) as a function of the flash intensity in the log scale in normal (○) and forskolin-containing (•) solution. Trec is defined as the time of regaining 20% of dark current. Straight lines are an approximation of experimental points with Trec = c + τD*ln(I). Numbers at the lines show corresponding dominant recovery time constants, τD. The cell with the biggest effect of forskolin is shown. Records in forskolin solution were started after 15 min of perfusion.
