Abstract
Calcium influx was measured in cultured carotid body and glioma cells. In carotid body cells stimulation with acetylcholine (ACh, 10(-5) mol/l) increased the calcium influx to 135% of control values after 1 min and to 163% after 30 min. With a reduction of the pO2 to nearly zero calcium influx increased to 170% of control values. In glioma cells there was only a slight or no increase. This sensitivity of carotid body cells is discussed in relation to their function in chemoreception.Entities:
