ABSTRACT
The influence of extracellular Ca2+ on the contraction produced by noradrenaline (NA) (3 x 10(-6) M), KCl (60 mM) and BaCl2 (30 mM) on human uterine arteries (AUH) and aortic strips from rats, rabbits and guinea-pigs have been studied. The vessels were cut spirally and incubated in Krebs solution containing 2.5 mM Ca2+ (KN), 0 mM Ca2+ (K-0Ca) or 0 mM Ca2+ + 3 mM EDTA (K-EDTA). Both phases (fast and slow) of the response of aortic strips to NA and of the AUH to NA, KCl and BaCl2 were significantly smaller in solutions without Ca2+. Only in rabbit aortic strips the slow phase was significantly more reduced than the fast phase. Overall, the contractions of the rat aortic strips were most resistant to the absence of extracellular Ca2+. These results confirm the variability of the responses of blood vessels from different vascular beds and species to the removal of extracellular Ca2+.
