Physiological roles and properties of potassium channels in arterial smooth muscle.
American Journal of Physiology, 1995This review examines the properties and roles of the four types of K+ channels that have been identified in the cell membrane of arterial smooth muscle cells.

In this paper, the control of vascular smooth muscle intracellular pH (pHi) and the mechanisms of importance for the vasodilation to acidosis are reviewed. The three transport pathways of importance for the control of pHi are a sodium‐coupled bicarbonate transport, a Na,H‐exchanger and a Cl,HCO3−exchange.

Annual Review of Physiology, 1989
Muscle energetics now emcompasses several related areas. Historically, the approach of energetics was largely phenomenological and primarily involved quantitation of muscle heat production and mechanical output in order to define performance characteristics.

In the last several years, significant advances have been made in the understanding of bladder smooth muscle physiology. This article provides a summary for the clinician of current knowledge about the detrusor smooth muscle cell structure, function, and the relationship of structure to function in terms of bladder storage and physical properties such ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell calcification is mediated by regulated exosome secretion.
Circulation Research, 2015RATIONALE Matrix vesicles (MVs), secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), form the first nidus for mineralization and fetuin-A, a potent circulating inhibitor of calcification, is specifically loaded into MVs.

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1958
Penetration of sucrose into the muscle fibers of the frog's stomach is inferred from the observation that muscles swell in isosmotic sucrose solution and that sucrose space is consistently, on the average by 34%, larger than inulin space. In solutions of low electrolyte concentration water uptake and loss are strongly influenced by the presence of ...

Regulation of differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells.
Physiological Reviews, 1995The vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) in mature animals is a highly specialized cell whose principal function is contraction. The fully differentiated or mature SMC proliferates at an extremely low rate and is a cell almost completely geared for ...

Smooth muscle and NMR review: An overview of smooth muscle metabolism
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2003Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a non-invasive technique which allows us to examine the biochemical, physiological and metabolic events occurring inside living tissue; such as vascular and other smooth muscles. It has been found that the smooth muscle metabolism is compartmented such that mitochondrial function fuels contraction and that much ...

This chapter considers the different types of smooth muscle and how they generate force. Smooth muscle is classified as tonic or phasic and exhibits various patterns of electrical and mechanical activities. Some have electromechanical coupling, others pharmacomechanical coupling.

Regulation of Smooth Muscle Actomyosin
Annual Review of Physiology, 1981In smooth muscle it is generally accepted that at the level of the contractile apparatus regulation is achieved by activating a dormant state in the presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. This event initiates the contractile process which is manifest by an increased cross-bridge cycling rate and the development of tension, or in biochemical terms, by
