Influence of mitochondrial inhibition on global and local [Ca(2+)](I) in rat tail artery. (2002)
Swärd, Karl, Dreja, Karl, Lindqvist, Anders, Persson, Erik, Hellstrand, Per
Inhibition of oxidative metabolism is often found to decrease contractility of systemic vascular smooth muscle, but not to reduce global [Ca(2+)](i). In the present study, we probe the hypothesis...
Effects of oxygen tension on energetics of cultured vascular smooth muscle. (2002)
Lindqvist, Anders, Dreja, Karl, Swärd, Karl, Hellstrand, Per
Chronic hypoxia is a clinically important condition known to cause vascular abnormalities. To investigate the cellular mechanisms involved, we kept rings of a rat tail artery for 4 days in hypoxic...

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the role of cholesterol-rich membrane regions, including caveolae, in the regulation of arterial contractility. Methods and Results- Rat tail artery devoid of...
Dynamics of Ca2+ handling in vascular smooth muscle. (2001)
Intracellular Ca2+ is a key regulator of vascular contractility, and thereby of blood perfusion and pressure. Ca2+ signals are essential also for cell migration, proliferation and regulation of...
