Measurement of intracellular calcium.
To a certain extent, all cellular, physiological, and pathological phenomena that occur in cells are accompanied by ionic changes. The development of techniques allowing the measurement of such ion activities has contributed substantially to our understanding of normal and abnormal cellular function. Digital video microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and more recently multiphoton mic...
متن کاملApplication of the optical method in experimental cardiology: action potential and intracellular calcium concentration measurement.
It has been shown that, in addition to conventional contact electrode techniques, optical methods using fluorescent dyes can be successfully used for cardiac signal measurement. In this review, the physical and technical fundamentals of the method are described, as well as the properties of the most common systems for measuring action potentials and intracellular calcium concentration. Special ...
متن کاملFluorescence measurement of changes in intracellular calcium induced by excitatory amino acids in cultured cortical astrocytes.
Population response of [Ca2+]i in cultured cortical astrocytes to excitatory amino acids was measured at room temperature using the calcium-sensitive dye fura-2. Quisqualic acid (QA), glutamate (Glu), and kainic acid (KA) caused a peak increase in [Ca2+]i in the order QA greater than Glu greater than KA. No response to N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) was observed whether or not Mg2+ was present...
متن کاملOptical measurement of presynaptic calcium currents.
Measurements of presynaptic calcium currents are vital to understanding the control of transmitter release. However, most presynaptic boutons in the vertebrate central nervous system are too small to allow electrical recordings of presynaptic calcium currents (I(Ca)pre). We therefore tested the possibility of measuring I(Ca)pre optically in boutons loaded with calcium-sensitive fluorophores. Fr...
متن کاملA Study on the Effects of Modulation of Intracellular Calcium on Excisional Wound Healing in Rabbit
An in vitro study on the role of intracellular calcium ions in healing of excisional wound in rabbit was undertaken. We employed two drugs namely, glibenclamide and nitroglycerin that are topically applied in vivo to modulate the activity of intracellular calcium. Our model consisted of a 15 ´ 15 mm excisional wound. Seven groups of New Zealand rabbits were used. The first three groups served a...
