Effects of GSNO treatment on agonist (CCh) dose-response parameters in [35S]GTPγS binding assays of hM4 cell line membranes. Membranes were preincubated in control conditions or in the presence of 0.5 mM GSNO for 30 min. Values are mean ± SE from three to four independent experiments performed in duplicate. Emax is expressed in percentage over basal with nonspecific binding subtracted.
