Dynamics of smooth muscle contraction
Photolysis of caged calcium (Nitr5, Calbiochem®) can be used to studycalcium dependent processes such as excitation-contraction coupling andmuscular mechanics. Expensive high energy light sources are routinely used forUV light exposure; this study describes an alternative low cost Xenon flash unitconstmcted in our laboratOlY. A 300 J short arc Xenon flash lamp (Heimarl1l®)wa...
متن کاملErysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in Laying Hens
The bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae can infect a wide range of mammals (including humans) and birds. Disease outbreaks (erysipelas) have been considered unusual in chickens internationally, but outbreaks with high mortality and egg production losses have been diagnosed in Swedish laying hen flocks every year since 1998. Different aspects of E. rhusiopathiae infection in chickens were exa...
متن کاملExcitation-contraction coupling in airway smooth muscle.
Excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in striated muscles is mediated by the cardiac or skeletal muscle isoform of voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channel (Ca(v)1.2 and Ca(v)1.1, respectively) that senses a depolarization of the cell membrane, and in response, activates its corresponding isoform of intracellular Ca(2+) release channel/ryanodine receptor (RyR) to release stored Ca(2+), thereby in...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle contraction in hypertension
Hypertension is a major risk factor for many common chronic diseases, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular dementia, and chronic kidney disease. Pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of hypertension include increased vascular resistance, determined in large part by reduced vascular diameter due to increased vascular contraction and arterial remo...
متن کاملComparative gonadotrophic potency of anterior pituitaries from cocks, laying hens and non-laying hens in molt.
A bulk of studies on the assay of gonadotrophic hormone content of the anterior pituitary from the animals in various reproductive conditions has been done. Riley and Fraps(1942b) assayed pituitary glands from chickens in various reproductive stages, judging the gonadotrophic potency by the increment of uterine weights of immature mice, and concluded that glands from non-laying hens produced a ...
