Concentration-dependent inhibitory effects of PGE2 on GC frequency and amplitude. In the presence of TTX and piroxicam, vehicle control (DMSO) or PGE2 was added cumulatively to the bathing solution (10−11 to 3 × 10−6 mol L−1) in  ~ 30-min intervals. Representative traces after the addition of DMSO (a) or PGE2 (b) are shown. Concentration–response curves of the normalized mean frequency and amplitude (see Methods and Results) are shown in c and d. Data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 4)
