Dependence of Ca2+-Induced Contraction on ATP in α-Toxin-Permeabilized Preparations of Rat Femoral Artery

ABSTRACT: Effects of various concentrations of ATP on Ca2+-induced contraction were studied in a-toxin-permeabilized preparations obtained from the rat femoral artery. The contractile magnitude was highest in the presence of 1 mM ATP and decreased with both increasing and decreasing the concentratio...
