Peptide potentiation of calcium channel activity can be seasonally variable.
Using the single-channel patch-clamp technique we have recently shown that the peptide cotransmitter proctolin can potentiate the activity of a large (38 pS in DVmmoir Ba; 26pS in m m m o l l " 1 Ca), depolarization-inducible Ca channel in the plasma membrane of the crayfish tonic flexor muscle (Bishop et al. 1991). Parallels between the modulatory effects of the peptide on channel activity and...
متن کاملRegulatory Role of Calcium Channel Blockers on Spontaneous Muscular Activity of Gastrothylax Crumenifer, A Rumen Amphistome
Major proportion of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is achieved through opening of calcium channels present in the plasma membrane which play an important role in regulating neuromuscular coordination and release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Blockade of these calcium channels adversely affect contractile process and release of neurotransmitters in majority of the neuromuscular prep...
متن کاملAntiplatelet Effect of Clopidogrel Can Be Reduced by Calcium-Channel Blockers
PURPOSE Clopidogrel is metabolized by the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) system into its active thiol metabolite. CYP3A4 is involved in the metabolism of both clopidogrel and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs). A few reports have suggested an inhibitory interaction between CCBs and clopidogrel. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of CCBs on the antiplatele...
متن کاملExplicit channel conductance: can it be computed?
On pages XX-ZZ of this issue the reader will find the results of the first explicit computation of the conductance of a large membrane channel based on its crystal structure. Aksimentiev and Schulten, the authors of this paper, chose the well-known alpha-Hemolysin as a proving ground for their all-atom molecular dynamics approach. The problem of relating the conductance of channel pores to thei...
متن کاملThe Antiiflammtory Activity of calcium-channel antagonists on chronic inflammation in rat
calcium mobilization is known to be an important factor in the activation of cells involved in inflammation,so,calcium-channel antagonists are be expected ti exhibit antiinflammatory activity.in the present study,we evaluateted the antiinflammatory effects of two calcium channel blockers,verapamil and nifedipine on adjuvant induced chronic in flammation in rat paw.sixty adult male rats were div...
