Parathyroid hormone selectively inhibits L-type calcium channels in single vascular smooth muscle cells of the rat

1. The active synthetic N-terminal fragment of bovine parathyroid hormone, bPTH-(1-34) at a concentration of 1 microM, decreased the peak amplitude of the long-lasting (L-type) calcium channel current by 37% (n = 14, P less than 0.01) in rat tail artery smooth muscle cells. By contrast, this fragmen...
