In smooth muscle, maintenance of the contractile response is due to Ca 2+ influx through
two types of Ca 2+ channel, a voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channel and a receptor-linked Ca …

This review is the result of a widening interest in the role of cGMP in vascular smooth muscle
function. Smooth muscle physiologists, pharmacologists, and biochemists now appreciate …

1. Whole‐cell membrane current recordings under voltage clamp were made at room
temperature from dispersed single cells of longitudinal smooth muscle of rabbit jejunum and …

1 We have measured the calcium sensitivity in response to noradrenaline stimulation and
potassium depolarization of isolated segments of 100 to 200 μm mesenteric resistance …

The effects of caffeine on the noradrenaline‐sensitive Ca store in rabbit aorta have been
studied measuring tension development and stimulated 45Ca efflux in Ca‐free solution. In …

The amplitude of interrupted contractions evoked by noradrenaline or caffeine in Ca2+‐free,
high‐K+ solutions containing EGTA or La3+ was determined in small (40‐60 micron thick) …

The roles of the endothelium, Ca 2+ and K+ fluxes in the evodiamine-induced attenuation of
vascular contractile responses to vasoactive agents were examined. The results showed …

We have studied the effect of agents known to stimulate adenylate cyclase on spontaneous
meiotic resumption in vitro by mouse oocytes. We have found that cholera toxin (CT)(up to 1 …

Bis [1, 2-bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane] gold (I) chloride (Au (DPPE) 2+), a cytotoxic
antineoplastic drug candidate, was cardiotoxic in rabbits. Intravenous administration of Au …

The aim of this experiment was to study the mechanism by which berberine inhibits
phenylephrine-induced contractions in isolated mesenteric arteries. The results show that …
