C. citratus effect on AMPA receptor desensitization and deactivation rates. (a) Shows τ_w des in the presence of glutamate alone (black) and C. citratus (gray). The traces of the four tested subunits were recorded using the 500 ms protocol to detect the desensitization rate. (b) shows τ_w deact in the presence of glutamate alone (black) and C. citratus (gray). The traces of the four tested subunits using the 1 ms protocol to detect the deactivation rate. The currents were measured at -60 mV, pH 7.4, and 22 °C. For comparison, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ns, not significant. In each experiment, 6 cells were evaluated, and all data are provided as means ± SEM
