متن کاملMyogenic contraction in rat skeletal muscle arterioles: smooth muscle membrane potential and Ca(2+) signaling.
The present studies examined relationships between intraluminal pressure, membrane potential (E(m)), and myogenic tone in skeletal muscle arterioles. Using pharmacological interventions targeting Ca(2+) entry/release mechanisms, these studies also determined the role of Ca(2+) pathways and E(m) in determining steady-state myogenic constriction. Studies were conducted in isolated and cannulated ...
متن کاملThe effect of aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on rat uterine smooth muscle contractility
Introduction: Considering the importance of uterine contractions in uterus retraction and reducing post-partum hemorrhage and the current findings on the effect of the alcoholic extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine contractility, only few studies were made on this issue. In the present study the cumulative effect of the aqueous extract of pomegranate seed on the uterine smooth muscle c...
متن کاملCa-induced contraction of cat esophageal circular smooth muscle cells
Cao, W., Q. Chen, U. D. Sohn, N. Kim, M. T. Kirber, K. M. Harnett, J. Behar, and P. Biancani. Ca-induced contraction of cat esophageal circular smooth muscle cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 280: C980–C992, 2001.— ACh-induced contraction of esophageal circular muscle (ESO) depends on Ca influx and activation of protein kinase Ce (PKCe). PKCe, however, is known to be Ca independent. To determine...
متن کاملZipper-interacting protein kinase induces Ca(2+)-free smooth muscle contraction via myosin light chain phosphorylation.
The inhibition of myosin phosphatase evokes smooth muscle contraction in the absence of Ca(2+), yet the underlying mechanisms are not understood. To this end, we have cloned smooth muscle zipper-interacting protein (ZIP) kinase cDNA. ZIP kinase is present in various smooth muscle tissues including arteries. Triton X-100 skinning did not diminish ZIP kinase content, suggesting that ZIP kinase as...
