Selectivity of Ca2+ channel blockers for dilator actions on the isolated lower esophageal sphincter and aorta from rats

We compared dilator actions of representative four Ca2+ channel blockers on the isolated lower esophagus sphincter (LES) and thoracic aorta from rats. Verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine and cilnidipine suppressed KCl-induced contractions of LES and thoracic aorta in a concentration-dependent manner. T...
