Effect of 5 µM Gd3+ on IL and ICa,L in K+ in/K+ out (A), Cs+ in/K+ out (B), K+ in/Cs+ out (C), and Cs+ in/Cs+ out (D) solutions. Control curves in blue: IL – triangles and ICa,L – circles. Curves in the presence of Gd3+ in red: IL – triangles and ICa,L – circles. Note: C: Switching cell perfusion from K+ in/K+ out solution (IL – black triangles and ICa,L – black circles) to K+ in/Cs+ out solution (IL – blue triangles and ICa,L – blue circles), followed by the application of Gd3+ (IL – red triangles and ICa,L – red circles). While Gd3+ exerts only a minor effect on IL, it eliminates ICa,L in all solutions tested
