Electrophysiological effects of labetolol on rabbit atrial, ventricular and Purkinje cells, in normoxia and hypoxia.

abstract：:Arteriogenesis, the process of collateral artery growth as an adaptation to major arterial occlusion, can be life- and tissue saving and may alter the natural course of the consequences and organ manifestations of arterial disease. This is achieved by an active growth process that is coupled to complete arterial remod...

abstract：AIMS:A cytosolic calcium (Ca(2+)(i)) increase is an important activation signal for the endothelium. We investigated whether interendothelial spreading of the Ca(2+) signal via gap junctions (GJs) plays a role for the overall Ca(2+)(i) increase in response to vasoactive agonists. METHODS AND RESULTS:In human umbilical...
