Larger Image Figure 6. Menthol attenuates α7 nACh receptor calcium signaling.(A) Live cell imaging of cells expressing GCaMP5G. ROI within soma and neurite shown via the organge and red dotted line, respectively. ROI selection is based on co-detection of fBgtx and GCaMP5G as indicated in Fig. 5. Rows top to bottom: cells pre-treated with Control (0.3% ethanol); Menthol (30 µM); α-bungarotoxin (Bgtx) (50 nM). Image frames captured at 6/8/10/12 seconds (s). PNU (10 µM) was applied at 8â10 s. (B) Average fluorescence signal data for soma and neurite ROI imaged for 20 seconds. nâ=â40 cells, **P>0.01â. Image published in: Ashoor A et al.
