We have previously shown that amiloride, an inhibitor of several cell membrane sodium exchangers and channels including Na/H exchange and Na/Ca exchange, inhibits receptor-operated contraction of bovine airway smooth muscle. However, the precise mechanism of action of amiloride is unknown. To evalua

## Abstract Cardiac ventricular myofibroblast motility, proliferation, and contraction contribute to postβmyocardial infarct wound healing, infarct scar formation, and remodeling of the ventricle remote to the site of infarction. The Na^+^βCa^2+^ exchanger (NCX1) is involved in altered calcium hand
The protective effects of the Na + /H + exchange inhibitors amiloride, EIPA (5-(N-ethyl-Nisopropyl)-amiloride), and HOE 694 (3-methylsulfonyl-4-(1-piperidino) benzoyl-guanidine) and the Na + / Ca 2+ exchange inhibitor, DCB (3,4-Dichlorobenzamil) on ischemia (30 min) / reperfusion (30 min) injury wer
For many types of cells, heat stress leads to an increase in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) that has been shown to trigger a wide variety of cellular responses. In T lymphocytes, for example, heat stress stimulates pathways that make them more susceptible to Fas/CD95-mediated a
