I. OVERVIEW AND NOMENCLATURE Times change. In 1926, the writer of a review in this
journal noted that over 350 papers had appeared on the subject during the previous 2 years …

Ion channels play key roles in determining smooth muscle tone by setting the membrane
potential and allowing Ca2+ influx. Perhaps not surprisingly, therefore, they also provide …

Whole-cell Ca2+ channel currents in rabbit portal vein cells were recorded using the
amphotericin B-perforated patch-clamp technique at 35 degrees C. This technique allowed …

Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings obtained from magnocellular neurons of the
hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in brain slice preparations of adult Sprague-Dawley …

Ca 2+ plays an important role in the regulation of smooth-muscle contraction. In this review,
we will focus on the various Ca 2+-transport processes that contribute to the cytosolic Ca 2+ …

In the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors are concentrated
in the region that contains neurons innervating sympathetic preganglionic neurons. We …

Angiotensin II (AngII) is coupled to several important intracellular signaling pathways, and
increases intracellular Ca 2+. In vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, AngII is known to …

1. The modulation of whole‐cell K+ and Ca2+ currents by stimulation of histamine H1‐
receptors in freshly isolated single smooth muscle cells from the rabbit coronary artery was …

The subunit composition of angiotensin AT 1 receptor-activated G protein was identified by
using antisense oligonucleotide injection into the nucleus of rat portal vein myocytes. In …
