Store-refilling involves both L-type calcium channels and reverse-mode sodium–calcium exchange in airway smooth muscle
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the relative contributions to store-refilling of the two following voltage-regulated calcium ion influx pathways: 1) L-type-Ca(2+) channels; and 2) the reverse-mode of the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX). Successive acetylcholine-induced contractions, triggered in bovine tracheal smooth muscle strips, were measured to determine the effect of intervention on contractions as an indication of the extent …
