Length-tension relationships in resting and activated vascular smooth muscle fibres
The length-tension relationships of resting or activated (by 130 mM of potassium) helical strips of the pig coronary artery were studied. The distensibility of the preparations was expressed by approximated ex...

Different Mechanisms of Activating the Vascular Smooth Muscle by Noradrenaline or Potassium-Depolarization
The contraction of the vascular smooth muscle is induced by releasing calcium ions into the cell. After depolarization of the membrane the calcium-influx from the extracellular space increases. This mechanism ...

Unterschiedliche Temperaturabhängigkeit der Gefäßmuskelkontraktion nach Aktivierung durch Kalium-Depolarisation bzw. Noradrenalin
In isolated helical strips of rat aorta, the influence of a variation of bath-temperature on the passive tension as well as on the force of contraction, induced by norepinephrine (=NE) or potassium-depolarizat...
