Facilitation of L-type Ca2+ Currents by Fluid Flow in Rabbit Cerebral Artery Myocytes

Blood vessels are receptive to hemodynamic forces, such as blood pressure and flow, which result in myogenic responses. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of mechanical stresses on L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in rabbit cerebral artery myocytes. Cell swelling induced by the...
