Comparison of dose-response curves for induction of45Ca uptake by capsaicin or RTX in MC/9 cells. Cells were challenged with different concentrations of capsaicin (○) or RTX (▪) for 30 minutes. Points represent mean values from sets of five determinations in a single experiment; error bars indicate SEM. In both cases, at least three experiments yielded similar results. The theoretical curves were calculated by fitting the measured values to the Hill equation.
