Loss of Gαi2 predominantly impairs VSN Ca2+ responses to LMW urine fraction from healthy mice. ac Density of knobs that responded to the LMW urine fraction of PBS- or LPS-treated mice analyzed in control vs. cGαi2−/− mice. a Density of knobs that responded exclusively to LMWPBS (9 and 12 recording sites in 5 animals each, respectively; Mann-Whitney, ***p < 0.001). b Density of knobs that responded exclusively to LMWLPS (Mann-Whitney ns, p = 0.44). c Density of knobs that responded to both LMWPBS and LMWLPS (unpaired t-test: t (19) = 0.56, p = 0.58). d Venn diagrams indicating the percentages of LMWPBS and LMWLPS responders and their overlap in control vs. cGαi2−/− knobs (based on 359 and 312 responding knobs, respectively)
