The effect on the vasocontractile response of pretreatment with NH4Cl at a concentration (10 mM) that made almost no change in the resting tension was investigated using aortic strips from rats. NH4Cl pretreatment for 10 min significantly potentiated strip contractions induced by KCl (less than or equal to 30 mM), BAY K 8644 (0.1 microM) and phenylephrine (0.01 microM). This potentiating action of NH4Cl was eliminated in presence of nifedipine (1 microM). KCl (14.7 mM)-stimulated 45Ca uptake in rat aorta was significantly potentiated by pretreatment with NH4Cl (10 mM) for 10 min, but this NH4Cl effect was also eliminated in the presence of nifedipine. These results suggest that NH4Cl potentiates contractions induced by KCl and agonists in rat aorta by facilitating calcium influx through the nifedipine-sensitive calcium channel.
