AIM: To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of resveratrol and genistein on contractile responses of rat gastrointestinal smooth muscle.METHODS: Isolated strips of gastrointestinal smooth muscle from Spraque-Dawley rats were suspended in organ baths containing Kreb's solution, and the
VDAC1, an outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) protein, is crucial for regulating mitochondrial metabolic and energetic functions and acts as a convergence point for various cell survival and death signals. VDAC1 is also a key player in apoptosis, involved in cytochrome c (Cyto c) release and interact

Calcium regulation of neurotransmitter release is essential for maintenance of synaptic transmission. However, the temporal and spatial organization of Ca(2+) dynamics that regulate synaptic vesicle (SV) release efficacy in sympathetic neurons is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the N-type Ca
… Although the presence of calcium ions interfered with the concentration of magnesium, it was removed by the addition of o,o'-bis(2-aminoethyl)ethyleneglycol-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid(GEDTA) as a masking agent. …
… Dispersed chief cells were obtained from gastric mucosa of a guinea pig using collagenase, GEDTA, and Percoll solution, suspended in DMEM/F-12 (1/1 containing 10%FCS) media, and cultured for 70hr. …
