Calcium antagonists and renal protection.

abstract：:In vascular smooth muscle, calcium overload is a highly pathogenic event, which increases with advancing age. An increase in the calcium content of arterial wall may be produced in rats by treatment with vitamin D3. The aim of this study was to evaluate the renal clearance of sulfanilamide (a model organic anion, pref...
