Role of sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in Ca2+ signaling in vascular smooth muscle

Superficial sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) regulates smooth muscle force development directly and indirectly. In the rabbit basilar artery (BA), relative contributions of direct effects and those mediated through activation of Kca were evaluated by measuring force and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentratio...
