“…The steady reduction in intracellular calcium over the recovery period could be due to several cell processes: extrusion from the cell by the cell membrane calcium pump demonstrated in ,-cells (Pershadsingh, McDaniel, Landt, Bry, Lacy & McDonald, 1980); an increase in the sodium/calcium exchange that exists in f8-cells (Herchuelz, Sener & Malaisse, 1980) due to restoration of the sodium gradient and the rise in intracellular calcium; and/or uptake into cell organelles such as mitochondria (Sugden & Ashcroft, 1978), endoplasmic reticulum (Colca, McDonald, Kotagal, Patke, Fink, Greider, Lacy & McDaniel, 1982) and secretory granules (Abrahamsson, Gylfe & Hellman, 1981).…”
