Recovery time courses of the T-type Ca2+ currents in adult rats. The voltage sequence is shown (b, inset). A 2-s pulse of −30 mV was applied to fully inactivate the T-type Ca2+ channels, followed by −100 mV prepulses of variable lengths to deactivate the channels, and finally a 100-ms test pulse of −20 mV was applied. a Representative current traces are shown. The number above each trace indicates the length of the prepulse. b Recovery time courses of the T-type Ca2+ currents. The time constants of the recovery were determined by exponential regression analysis of the pooled data for males and females. The time constants were 0.61 s (n = 6) for females and 0.54 s (n = 5) for males. Data represent mean ± SEM
