Physiology of small contractile arteries : Ca²⁺-sensitization in myogenic tone and glucose transport in endothelial cells
Recent evidence suggests the involvement of Ca²⁺ sensitization in the development of myogenic tone, possibly mediated by PKC and Rho-kinase. To investigate this, rat cerebral arteries were mounted on a pressure myograph, and pressure-induced constrictions and changes in intracellular [Ca²⁺][sub i] w...
