Abstract
The effect of angiotensin II (AII) on calcium exchanges in isolated rat aorta was investigated using the 45Ca lanthanum technique. AII induced a rapid (10 s) and long-lasting (120 min) increase of calcium uptake and enhanced calcium release for a short period. AII-stimulated calcium uptake was antagonized by saralasin and verapamil but not by indomethacin. These data indicate that AII increases rat aortic calcium exchanges via receptor-operated and voltage-dependent calcium channels.Entities:
