The function and the mechanism of agonist-induced asynchronous wave-like [Ca²⁺]i oscillations in the in situ smoothe muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava

Background: [Ca²⁺][sub i] imaging studies of in situ vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in agoniststimulated arterial blood vessels have revealed asynchronous wave- like [Ca²⁺][sub i] oscillations as an important signaling mechanism. However, the functions and the mechanisms of these asynchronous w...
