Fig. 6 Fig. 6. Cortisol-mediated [(Ca2+)i] rise involves calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRACC) activation. (a) Representative images of the developing trunk muscle (DTM) loaded with the ratiometric dye FURA-2AM and treated with either vehicle (CONTROL), cortisol (CORT) without or with antibody for quenching (CORT + Ab), and CRACC inhibitor (CpD5J-4) without or with cortisol (CpD5J-4+CORT). (b) A bar graph showing the ratiometric intensity at 30 s with the CRACC inhibitor CpD5J-4 either with or without cortisol. (c) A bar graph showing the ratiometric intensity at 30 s with CORT either without or with the antibody (CORT + Ab). All bars represent mean ± SEM (n = 4–5 independent embryos); bars with different letters are significantly different; one way ANOVA; Holm Sidak post hoc test; p < 0.05.
