30. At very low k (flow rates < 1ml/min), the effect of extracellular PDE is nonnegligible. Pulses are no longer observed when dithiothreitol is applied to inhibit extracellular PDE (fig. S2), demonstrating that periodic firing under these conditions depends on degradation of extracellular cAMP by extracellular PDE released by the cells. At higher k, clearing of extracellular cAMP from the medium is mainly determined by dilution.
