The effects of the alpha 1-agonist phenylephrine on the voltage-gated Ca2(+)-entry in vascular smooth muscle cells has been studied by measuring the agonist-induced changes of [Ca2+]i in K(+)-depolarized tissues. These changes have been estimated from the changes in fluorescence of the Ca2(+)-indica
## Abstract We report the functional characterization of constitutive nitric oxide synthase(s) (NOS) such as neuronal and endothelial NOS in cultured human astrocytes. Exposure of cultured human astrocytes to 1 ΞΌM veratridine or 50 mM KCl produced a pronounced increase in a calmodulinβdependent NOS
