Abstract:The effect of extracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) depletion, diltiazem, D-600 and TMB-8 on potassium (K+), norepinephrine-(NE) and histamine-induced contractions of the rabbit isolated ovarian artery was studied. K+-induced contractions, which were biphasic, were rapidly lost (congruent to 5 min) when calcium was removed from the physiological saline solution (O-Ca2+ PSS). NE and histamine-induced contractions also declined rapidly under nominal O-Ca2+ conditions without any evidence of a depletion resistant comp… Show more
