Implication

Hypothesis-generating in isolated rabbit aorta; leaves open relevance to human vascular contracture.

Structured PICO

Does K2SO4-induced contracture alter calcium influx and tissue calcium concentration in isolated rabbit aortic strips?

P
Population
Isolated rabbit aortic strips
I
Intervention
K2SO4-induced contractures
C
Comparator
Controls in Ringer's solution
O
Outcome
Calcium movements (influx) and tissue calcium concentrationssurrogate

K2SO4-induced contracture in rabbit aortic strips is initiated and maintained by increased calcium influx rather than changes in total tissue calcium concentration.
