The source, time course and stoichiometry of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) during contraction were examined in smooth muscle cells isolated from the guinea pig and human stomach. Contraction by receptor-linked agonists (eg, acetylcholine, cholecystokinin octapeptide and Met-enkephalin) was preceded

We sought to investigate the mechanism(s) by which the oxidant H2O2 stimulates Ca2+ release from mitochondria of bovine pulmonary vascular smooth muscle tissue and to test the hypothesis that hydroxyl radical is involved in this phenomenon. Treatment of the smooth muscle tissue with 1 mM H2O2 dramat
Effects of stimulants and relaxants on the cytosolic Ca 2+ level ([Ca2+]cy,) and contraction were examined in isolated canine tracheal smooth muscle. High K + and carbachol induced a sustained increase in [CaZ+]cyt and muscle tension. Cumulative addition of KCI induced a graded increase in [Ca2+Jcy
