چکیده
BRIGGS, ARTHUR H., AND SUZANNE MELVIN. Ion movements in isolated rabbit aortic stri@. Am. J. Physiol. 201(2): 365-368. I 961 .-Ca45, K42, and Na24 exchanges were compared with tension changes induced by epinephrine (I .5 X IO-~ M) and by lowering the extracellular sodium concentration (Na)o in normal and glycerol-extracted isolated spiral strips of rabbit aortas. Contractions induced by epinephrine and lowering the (Na)o to one-fifth of normal resulted in an increased Ca influx of I 07 and 225(& respectively. Epinephrine had no effect on tension or Ca influx in glycerol-extracted preparations. Ca45 efflux was not affected. Epinephrine in normal Ringer’s solution had no effect on Na24 net entry, but increased K efflux 486% and K influx 107% with the development of I .467 g of tension. K efflux and influx increased 2 15 and 30%, respectively, when the aortas were placed in Ca-free Ringer’s solution, whereas tension decreased o. 158 g. These data were interpreted to suggest that Ca, not Na or K, was directly involved in contraction in isolated rabbit aortic strips. Na appears to act through an antagonism with Ca.

Effects of added or substituted potassium ion on 45 Ca movements in rabbit aortic smooth muscle.
The effects of elevated potassium ion (K) concentration on radioactive calcium (Ca) movements and distribution were investigated in media-intimal strips prepared from rabbit aortic smooth muscle. Ca uptake was measured in either normal (1.5 rriM Ca ) or low-Ca (0.1 mM Ca ) solutions. In low-Ca solutions, elevating the K concentration either by substituting equimolar (165.4 IHM) K for sodium (Na...

Introduction: Public concern about the potential effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) on human health is increased by progressive usage of electrical devices in modern life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of prolonged exposure to low frequency EMF on the mechanical activity of isolated thoracic aorta strips in rats. Methods: Fourteen male rats were randomly allocated into...
