Impact of aging on the progression of neuropathy after liver transplantation in transthyretin Val30Met amyloidosis.

abstract：:Immersion of rat hemidiaphragms in Ca2+-free Krebs solution (KS) containing Ca2+ chelator in vitro leads to separation of basal lamina from the plasma membrane, as well as transient contracture and rapid loss of twitch response [calcium paradox (CP) phase 1]. Subsequent immersion in regular KS results in necrosis of m...
