...Yimin Xiong; Charles S. Harmon We have used fura-2/AM to investigate the effect of diazoxide on the cytosolic calcium concentration (Ca i ) in primary mouse keratinocyte cultures. Treatment of keratinocytes with 100 µ M diazoxide induced a transient peak in Ca i , followed by a sustained elevation...

..., and it has been proposed that antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol, may be responsible. Disruption of intracellular calcium levels is considered to play a key role in β-amyloid-induced neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease. Haloperidol has also been reported to interact with calcium homeostasis...
