... that coexists with cardiomyocytes biomechanical dysfunction in rats. In this study, the initial evidences indicate that contractile insufficiency was probably associated with pathological changes of the intracellular calcium kinetics, rather than inadequate available amounts of this mineral in cardiac tissue...

... analysis revealed the presence of CaR in cardiac fibroblasts. Calcium and calindol, a specific activator of CaR, elevated the intracellular calcium concentration in cardiac fibroblasts. Pretreatment of cardiac fibroblasts with calhex231, a specific inhibitor of CaR, U73122 and 2-APB attenuated the calindol...

... receptor blocker PD123319 or NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME. After 24 hr, intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca]i) was recorded before and after the addition of Ang II. Results: MCs from V group expressed AT2, RLX and RXFP1, whose levels were increased in P cells. Ang II induced a 150% increase in [Ca] i...

..., and the effects of ghrelin on intracellular calcium concentration are still unclear. To explore the mechanisms involved in the vasoactive regulation of ghrelin at the cellular level, we investigated the effects of ghrelin on calcium concentrations in rat aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods: We...

...George Grigoriadis; Weng H. Lim; Alastair G. Stewart The cellular signalling mechanisms initiated by platelet-activating factor (PAF) for stimulation of superoxide anion (O – 2 ) generation in peritoneal macrophages were investigated by monitoring intracellular calcium ([Ca 2+ ] i ) levels. In rat...

.... Calcium antagonists like bepridil or nifedipine inhibit cellular calcium entry and oscillations of the intracellular calcium concentration, protect +ras cells against actin stress fiber depolymerization, block activation of the Na + /H + exchanger and inhibit cell proliferation. Inhibition of the Na + /H...

... was to investigate the effect of urocortin (UCN), a 40-amino-acid CRF family peptide, on degranulation and intracellular calcium of rat lung mast cells. The activation and degranulation of mast cells were observed by Toluidine blue staining and transmission electron microscope. The intracellular calcium...
