Effect of Calcium Channel Blockers on Intraocular Pressure in Rabbits
The objective of the study was to evaluate the antiglaucoma effect of calcium channel blockers diltiazem and verapamil. Albino rabbits were used and chronic glaucoma was induced in them using freshly prepared 150 units of alphachymotrypsin. 0.1 mL of drug solution was administered topically into the left eye whereas the right served as control. The pressure recording was carried out at 15, 30, ...
متن کاملThe role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing
Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of L-type calcium channel subunits by oleate.
Nonesterified fatty acids such as oleate and palmitate acutely potentiate insulin secretion from pancreatic islets in a glucose-dependent manner. In addition, recent studies show that fatty acids elevate intracellular free Ca(2+) and increase voltage-gated Ca(2+) current in mouse beta-cells, although the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here we utilized a heterologous system to expres...
متن کاملCardiac L-type calcium channel (Cav1.2) associates with subunits
The cardiac voltage-gated Ca channel, Cav1.2, mediates excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. The molecular composition of the channel includes the pore-forming 1 subunit and auxiliary 2/ -1 and subunits. Ca channel subunits, of which there are 8 isoforms, consist of 4 transmembrane domains with intracellular Nand C-terminal ends. The 1 subunit was initially detected in the skeletal musc...
متن کامل61: Calcium Channel Blockers
In 1964, Albretch Fleckenstein described an inhibitory action ofverapamil and prenylamine on excitation-contraction coupling that was similar to calcium depletion. By the late 1970s, the clinical use of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) was widely accepted for variety of cardiovascular indications, including hypertension, dysrhythmias, and angina. Later indications, including Raynaud phenomenon, ...
