Role of Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger-Mediated Ca2+ Entry in Pressure-Induced Myogenic Constriction in Rat Posterior Cerebral Arteries
Abstract.: The involvement of Ca2+ entry via the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in myogenic constriction of rat posterior cerebral arteries was investigated. RT-PCR identified mRNA for NCX1, 2, and 3 in the arteries. Na+ removal increased [Ca2+]i, which was reduced by the NCX inhibitor SEA0400. SEA0400 in...
