[Functional effects of subthreshold stimulation of smooth muscle cells of the blood vessel]. 1988

V A Govyrin, and N A Malovichko

The effect of subthreshold electrical stimulation of smooth muscle cells of the vessel wall upon the level of tonic tension developed by the smooth muscle in response to distention, was studied in isolated segments of the rat tail artery. Low concentrations of catecholamines--30-300 times lesser than those ordinarily observed in the blood--as well as subthreshold electrical stimuli were shown to affect functional properties of the blood vessel's smooth muscles, potentiating the tonic tension developed by the vessel in response to distention. Calcium ions are necessary for the development of potentiating effect of the subthreshold stimuli upon the tone of the blood vessels.

D009131 Muscle, Smooth, Vascular The nonstriated involuntary muscle tissue of blood vessels. Vascular Smooth Muscle,Muscle, Vascular Smooth,Muscles, Vascular Smooth,Smooth Muscle, Vascular,Smooth Muscles, Vascular,Vascular Smooth Muscles
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
