Ca2+-dependence of endothelin-1 induced contraction of rat tail artery

1. In rat tail artery, endothelin-1(ET-1) caused an increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) followed by a relatively sustained but not steady-state contraction in Ca2+ containing solution. 2. In the early phase of the contraction, the rate of increase in [Ca2+]i, was much faster than tha...
