By the way of isolated vessel perfusion, the direct effect of TFCM on blood vessel contraction was observed and its influence on blood vessel contraction caused by phenylephrine (PE) or potassium chloride, intracellular calcium releasing and extracellular calcium inflowing. TFCM did not directly relax or contract vascular rings, but TFCM could significantly inhibit the contraction of the vascular rings caused by phenylephrine (PE), and potassium chloride (compare with those of control, P>0.05), and the same inhibition to the contraction caused by intracellular calcium releasing and extracellular calcium inflowing (compare with those of control, P<0.05). TFCM could inhibit the contraction of vascular rings caused by phenylephrine and potassium chloride, whose possible mechanism was to inhibit intracellular calcium releasing and extracellular calcium inflowing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
