Smooth muscle gap-junctions allow propagation of intercellular Ca2+ waves and vasoconstriction due to Ca2+ based action potentials in rat mesenteric resistance arteries

Abstract:

The role of vascular gap junctions in the conduction of intercellular Ca2+ and vasoconstriction along small resistance arteries is not entirely understood. Some depolarizing agents trigger conducted vasoconstriction while others only evoke a local depolarization. Here we use a novel technique to investigate the temporal and spatial relationship between intercellular Ca2+ signals generated by smooth muscle action potentials (APs) and vasoconstriction in mesenteric resistance arteries (MA). Pul...
