Blockade of current through single calcium channels by trivalent lanthanide cations. Effect of ionic radius on the rates of ion entry and exit. [PDF]
, 1990 Currents flowing through single dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels were recorded from cell-attached patches on C2 myotubes. In the presence of dihydropyridine agonist to prolong the duration of single-channel openings, adding micromolar ...

Calcium channel blockers and dementia [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2013 Degenerative dementia is mainly caused by Alzheimer's disease and/or cerebrovascular abnormalities. Disturbance of the intracellular calcium homeostasis is central to the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease, enhanced calcium load may be brought about by extracellular accumulation of amyloid‐β.

Remodelling of human atrial K+ currents but not ion channel expression by chronic β-blockade [PDF]
, 2012 Chronic β-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment in patients is associated with a potentially anti-arrhythmic prolongation of the atrial action potential duration (APD), which may involve remodelling of repolarising K+ currents.

T-type Ca2+ Channels: T for Targetable [PDF]
, 2018 In the last decade TTCC have been unveiled as key regulators of cancer cells biology and thus have been proposed as chemotherapeutic targets. Indeed in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that TTCC pharmacological blockers have a negative impact on the ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 1988 The calcium channel blockers initially were approved for the treatment of classical and variant angina pectoris. Recent studies indicate that these agents also are useful in such diverse conditions as pulmonary and systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, asthma, Raynaud's syndrome, esophageal spasm, myometrial hyperactivity ...

Calcium-channel blockers and anaesthesia [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1991 Verapamil was the first calcium-channel blocker (CCB). It has been used since 1962 in Europe then in Japan for its antiarrhythmic and coronary vasodilator effects. The CCB have become prominent cardiovascular drugs during the last 15 years. Many experimental and clinical studies have defined their mechanism of action, the effects of new drugs in this ...
