SR calcium handling dominates in conduit over muscular arteries; hypothesis-generating for artery-specific modulation before any clinical translation.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum plays a more significant role in calcium control for contraction in conduit arteries (rat aorta) than in muscular arteries (bovine tail artery), where gated calcium entry dominates.
Ashida et al. (1988) studied this question.
