Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002 Cells possess multiple intracellular Ca2+-releasing systems. Sea urchin egg homogenates are a well-established model to study intracellular Ca2+ release. In the present study the mechanism of interaction between three intracellular Ca2+ pools, namely the

Ca2+ signals co-ordinate zygotic polarization and cell cycle progression in the brown alga, Fucus serratus. [PDF]
, 2008 Zygotes of the fucoid brown algae provide excellent models for addressing fundamental questions about zygotic symmetry breaking. Although the acquisition of polarity is tightly coordinated with the timing and orientation of the first asymmetric division ...

An intracellular analysis of gamma-aminobutyric-acid-associated ion movements in rat sympathetic neurones [PDF]
, 1985 Double-barrelled ion-sensitive micro-electrodes were used to measure the changes of the intracellular activities of Cl-, K+, and Na+ (aiCl, aiK, aiNa) in neurones of isolated rat sympathetic ganglia during the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA ...

Effect of oxytocin on free intracellular Ca2+ levels and progesterone release by human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1993 Oxytocin and its receptor are found in the corpus luteum in a variety of species, including the human. In the present study we used fura-2 microfluorimetry to investigate whether activation of the oxytocin receptor of cultured human granulosa-lutein ...

R-type calcium channels are crucial for semaphorin 3A-induced DRG axon growth cone collapse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a secreted protein involved in axon path-finding during nervous system development. Calcium signaling plays an important role during axonal growth in response to different guidance cues; however it remains unclear whether this ...

Regulatory Action of Calcium Ion on Cyclic AMP-Enhanced Expression of Implantation-Related Factors in Human Endometrial Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Decidualization of human endometrial stroma and gland development is mediated through cyclic AMP (cAMP), but the role of intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) on cAMP mediated-signaling in human endometrial stroma and glandular epithelia has not been well ...

GTP and Ca2+ Modulate the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate-Dependent Ca2+ Release in Streptolysin O-Permeabilized Bovine Adrenal Chromaffin Cells [PDF]
, 1991 The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release was studied using streptolysin O-permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release was followed by Ca2+ reuptake into intracellular compartments.

By Regulating Mitochondrial Ca2+-Uptake UCP2 Modulates Intracellular Ca2+. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The possible role of UCP2 in modulating mitochondrial Ca2+-uptake (mCa2+-uptake) via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is highly controversial.Thus, we analyzed mCa2+-uptake in isolated cardiac mitochondria, MCU single-channel activity in cardiac

Changes in intracellular ion activities induced by adrenaline in human and rat skeletal muscle [PDF]
, 1988 To study the stimulating effect of adrenaline (ADR) on active Na+/K+ transport we used double-barrelled ion-sensitive micro-electrodes to measure the activities of extracellular K+ (aKe) and intracellular Na+ (aNai) in isolated preparations of rat soleus
