Enhanced spontaneous Ca2+ events in endothelial cells reflect signalling through myoendothelial gap junctions in pressurized mesenteric arteries.
Increases in global Ca(2+) in the endothelium are a crucial step in releasing relaxing factors to modulate arterial tone. In the present study we investigated spontaneous Ca(2+) events in endothelial cells, and the contribution of smooth muscle cells to these Ca(2+) events, in pressurized rat mesent...
