“…Thus, the major [Ca 2+ ] i mobilizing action of NPY in mesenteric small arteries is due to a transmembrane influx of Ca 2+ . This is in agreement with results reported for canine basilar (Tanaka et al ., 1995) and bovine retinal (Prieto et al ., 1995) arteries, where the NPY‐induced contraction also is produced mainly by Ca 2+ influx through L‐type channels. However, data obtained in porcine aortic smooth muscle cells (Mihara et al ., 1989; Erdbrüger et al ., 1993; Shigeri et al ., 1995) and other cell systems (Herzog et al ., 1992; Selbie et al ., 1995), indicate that the NPY‐elicited rises in [Ca 2+ ] i are fully or partially due to mobilization of Ca 2+ from intracellular stores.…”

“…The ability of NPY to promote rises in [Ca 2+ ] i is well documented in vascular smooth muscle (Mihara et al ., 1989; Erdbrüger et al ., 1993; Shigeri et al ., 1995; Tanaka et al ., 1995). In the mesenteric small arteries studied here, NPY elicits moderate increases in basal [Ca 2+ ] i and tension which probably are consequent to depolarization (Prieto et al ., 1997), in particular since these responses are markedly inhibited by the L‐type calcium channel blocker, nifedipine (Prieto et al ., 1997).…”

“…TXA 2 and its stable breakdown metabolite, TXB 2 , are known to be pulmonary vasoconstrictors (Friedman et al , 1979). We showed previously that 9,11‐dideoxy‐11α,9α‐epoxymethano prostaglandin F 2α (U46619), a stable TXA 2 analogue, increased not only the release of Ca 2+ from the intracellular storage sites but also the sensitivity of the myofilament to Ca 2+ in the canine cerebral artery (Tanaka et al , 1995), similar to data obtained in other vascular smooth muscle cells, such as the rabbit pulmonary artery (Himpens et al , 1990). Furthermore, we showed that U46619 increased the Ca 2+ sensitivity of the contractile elements in the canine basilar artery permeabilized by Staphylococcus aureus toxin (α‐toxin) in the presence of gua‐nosine 5′‐triphosphate (GTP).…”

“…There is evidence that NPY may promote the entry of extracellular Ca 2+ by opening membrane channels [33], and that this entry may be how NPY potentiates the effects of other vasoconstrictors [1,5,34]. Our results agree with these studies, and also suggest that L-type Ca 2+ channels may be involved, because the nonspecific Ca 2+ channel blocker NiCl 2 and the L-type-specific Ca 2+ channel blocker verapamil both reduced the NPY-induced potentiation of the ear artery's response to electrical stimulation with similar potency.…”
