Caffeine-induced Ca2+ oscillations in type I horizontal cells of the carp retina and the contribution of the store-operated Ca2+ entry pathway.

The mechanisms of release, depletion, and refilling of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ were investigated in type I horizontal cells of the carp retina using a fluo-3-based Ca2+ imaging technique. Exogenous application of caffeine, a ryanodine receptor agonist, induced oscillatory intracellular free...
