Contribution of sarcolemmal calcium current to total cellular calcium in postnatally developing rat heart.
OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine the contribution of sarcolemmal Ca influx through L-type Ca current to total cellular Ca in newborn and postnatally developing rat heart. METHODS Whole cell voltage clamp was used to study L-type Ca current in freshly isolated ventricular cells of 1, 6, 10, 15, 30-day-old and adult (120-150 days) rats. Amplitude, current density, inactivation rate and time i...
متن کاملCalcium signaling between sarcolemmal calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in heart cells.
Cardiac excitation-Ca2+ release coupling is, in essence, a tale of two molecules, sarcolemmal voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels (LCCs) and intracellular ryanodine receptors (RyRs), communicating via the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release mechanism. Recent advances have provided a microscopic view of the intermolecular Ca2+ signaling between LCCs and RyRs. In a dyadic junction or a "couplon", LCCs open ...
متن کاملContribution of sarcolemmal sodium-calcium exchange and intracellular calcium release to force development in isolated canine ventricular muscle
The aim of this work was to determine the relationship between peak twitch amplitude and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content during changes of stimulation frequency in isolated canine ventricle, and to estimate the extent to which these changes were dependent upon sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. In physiological [Na+]o, increased stimulation frequency in the 0.2-2-Hz range resulted in a p...
متن کاملContribution of Calcium Oxalate to Soil-Exchangeable Calcium
Acid deposition and repeated biomass harvest have decreased soil calcium (Ca) availability in many temperate forests worldwide, yet existing methods for assessing available soil Ca do not fully characterize soil Ca forms. To account for discrepancies in ecosystem Ca budgets, it has been hypothesized that the highly insoluble biomineral Ca oxalate might represent an additional soil Ca pool that ...
متن کاملProperties of a calcium-activated K(+) current on interneurons in the developing rat hippocampus.
Calcium-activated potassium currents have an essential role in regulating excitability in a variety of neurons. Although it is well established that mature CA1 pyramidal neurons possess a Ca(2+)-activated K(+) conductance (I(K(Ca))) with early and late components, modulation by various endogenous neurotransmitters, and sensitivity to K(+) channel toxins, the properties of I(K(Ca)) on hippocampa...
