Contraction of detergent-treated smooth muscle.
After exposure of segments of rabbit taenia coli to the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, tension could be induced by increasing the [Ca2+] in the micromolar range. In the presence of a saturating [Ca2+], this preparation developed nearly 100% of the control tetanus tension recorded from the intact muscle prior to the detergent treatment. In addition, tension could be induced by increasing the [...
متن کاملDynamics 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 کاملConcentration, and Contraction of Arterial Smooth Muscle
Na-Ca exchange is proposed to be an important regulator of myoplasmic intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]|) and contraction in vascular smooth muscle. We investigated the role of Na-Ca exchange in regulating [Ca], in swine carotid arterial tissues that were loaded with aequorin to allow simultaneous measurement of [Ca], and force. Reversal of Na-Ca exchange, by reduction of extracellular Na co...
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 کاملOxygen and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
DETAR, REED, AND DAVID F. BOHR. Oxygen and vascular smooth muscle contraction. Am. J. Physiol. 214(Z): 241-244. 1968.-Oxygen tension is an important determinant of the contractile tension developed by isolated helical strips of rabbit aorta. A decrease in PO:! below 100 mm Hg causes the contractile response to epinephrine (l-3 pg/liter) to diminish linearly to near zero levels at < 1 mm Hg. If ...
