Inactivation in the steady state of the total current in the cellular line of rat GC somatotropes. (a) Family of representative traces of the inactivation curve in the steady state for the peaks of voltage-dependent current generated by a double-pulse protocol of −130 mV to +60 mV, with a duration of 1.5 seconds and increases of 10 mV before passing to a testing pulse at 70 mV with a duration of 500 ms; the initial holding potential was 80 mV. (b) The peak evoked during the testing pulse at +60 mV was normalized in regard to the maximum and graphed in relation to the conditioning pulse voltage.
