Developmental regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis in early cardiac myocytes.
The proper intracellular Ca(2+) signaling is essential for normal cell functions and organ development, and the maintaining Ca(2+) homeostasis in cardiac myocytes is of functional importance for the intact heart. As the first functional organ in the vertebrate embryo, the heart is continuously remodeled and maintains its physiologic pumping function in response to increasing circulatory demands...
متن کاملInfluence of indomethacin on extracellular calcium homeostasis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with a generalised loss of bone mass. One of the factors that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this bone loss is the chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs are known to increase gastrointestinal permeability and may thus influence the absorption of calcium; they may also influence glomerular filtration rate and th...
متن کاملIntracellular convection, homeostasis and metabolic regulation.
Two views currently dominate experimental approaches to metabolic regulation. The first, let us call it Model 1, assumes that cells behave like a watery bag of enzymes. The alternative Model 2, however, assumes that 3-dimensional order and structure constrain metabolite behavior. A major problem in cell metabolism is determining why essentially all metabolite concentrations are remarkably stabl...
متن کاملIntracellular calcium homeostasis in cardiac myocytes.
Calcium homeostasis in cardiac myocytes results from the integrated function of transsarcolemmal Ca2+ influx and efflux pathways modulated by membrane potential and from intracellular Ca2+ uptake and release caused predominantly by SR function. These processes can be importantly altered in different disease states as well as by pharmacological agents, and the resulting changes in systolic and d...
متن کاملIntracellular calcium regulation of connexin43.
The mechanism by which intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) regulates the permeability of gap junctions composed of connexin43 (Cx43) was investigated in HeLa cells stably transfected with this connexin. Extracellular addition of Ca(2+) in the presence of the Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin produced a sustained elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) that resulted in an inhibition of the cell-to-cell t...
