A recent study demonstrated oxytocin (OT) receptors on hypothalamic cultured astrocytes (Di Scala-Guenot and Strosser, 1992). The attempt in the present paper was to determine a possible intracellular calcium mobilization induced by OT receptor activation in these cells. Using the microspectrofluori

Membrane currents and changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) have been recorded that can be attributed to the operation of an electrogenic, voltage-dependent sodium-calcium (Na-Ca) exchanger in mammalian heart cells. Single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes under voltage clamp we
## Abstract Changes in intracellular Ca^2+^ concentration were monitored in cultured cortical astrocytes challenged with ryanodine and ATP. Ryanodine elicited a modest, in comparison to ATP, increase in cytosolic Ca^2+^ concentration in approximately 60% of the cell fields examined. This effect was
