Calcium antagonist-induced relaxation of the prostaglandin-F 2α response of isolated calf retinal resistance arteries
The relaxing effect of nitrendipine and D600 on isolated ring segments of calf retinal resistance arteries (i.d. ca. 200 μm) contracted with prostaglandin-F 2α (PGF 2α of high potassium solution was studied. The vessel response to both PGF 2α and potassium stimulation was dependent on extracellular...

Summary: | The relaxing effect of nitrendipine and D600 on isolated ring segments of calf retinal resistance arteries (i.d. ca. 200
μm) contracted with prostaglandin-F
2α (PGF
2α of high potassium solution was studied. The vessel response to both PGF
2α and potassium stimulation was dependent on extracellular calcium. Removal of extracellular calcium reduced the vessel response to PGF
2α and potassium by 85% and 98%, respectively (
