چکیده

Loading isolated rat hepatocytes with high concentrations of the fluorescent Ca2+-chelator quin-2 in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ decreases by about 3-fold the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In these low [Ca2+]i cells, the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate, assumed to represent the Ca2+ influx, is stimulated to a level close to that promoted by maximal doses of vasopressin and angiotensin II in control cells. The subsequent addition of Ca2+ to the quin-2-loaded hepatocytes results in a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i and a return of Ca2+ influx towards the basal level usually observed in nonloaded cells. This indicates that the Ca2+ influx is dependent on [Ca2+]i but not on the quin-2 load itself. In the low [Ca2+]i cells, both the apparent Km and the apparent Vmax of the Ca2+ influx are increased as compared to the controls, indicating that the properties of the channels activated by lowering [Ca2+]i are apparently identical to those initiated by the hormones (Mauger, J.-P., Poggioli, J., Guesdon, F., and Claret, M. (1984) Biochem. J. 221, 121-127). It is proposed that in the isolated rat hepatocytes there is an inverse relationship between the Ca2+ influx and [Ca2+]i. Under resting conditions, [Ca2+]i might be high enough to partially inhibit the Ca2+ influx via a Ca2+ binding to an inhibitory site presumably located at the inner membrane surface. The role of the site in the hormonal action is discussed.

Synthesis and Effects of Novel Dihydropyridines as Dual Calcium Channel Blocker and Angiotensin Antagonist on Isolated Rat Aorta

Objective(s) Four novel losartan analogues 5a-d were synthesized by connecting a dihydropyridine nucleus to imidazole ring. The effects of 5a and 5b on angiotensin receptors (AT') and L-type calcium channels were investigated on isolated rat aorta. Materials and Methods Aortic rings were pre-contracted with 1 pM Angiotensin II or 80 mM KCl and relaxant effects of losartan, nifedipine, 5a and...

The effects of alpha and beta-adrenergic stimulation on triacylglycerol secretion were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine within 3h of incubation suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 35% and increased its cellular content by 18%. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of phentolamine and also prazosin but not with propranolol. Trifluoperazine c...

Major proportion of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is achieved through opening of calcium channels present in the plasma membrane which play an important role in regulating neuromuscular coordination and release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Blockade of these calcium channels adversely affect contractile process and release of neurotransmitters in majority of the neuromuscular prep...
