Abstract
The peptide endothelin causes a biphasic rise in intracellular free calcium levels in cultured Type-1 astrocytes and C6 glioma cells, suggesting that glial cells may be the physiological target of endothelin in the brain. Endothelin also causes a calcium-dependent increase [3H]thymidine incorporation in primary cultures of rat cerebellum, indicating that, among other possible roles, this peptide may mediate mitogenesis in brain.Entities:
