Cytosolic Calcium Ion Regulation in Cultured Endothelial Cells

  • Chapter
Regulation of Smooth Muscle Contraction

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 304))

Abstract

Endothelial cells profoundly affect the cardiovascular system by interacting with the blood at the luminal surface and with the underlying smooth muscle of the media. Endothelial secretions carry out multiple and sometimes opposing functions. For example, thrombotic and antithrombotic, proliferative and antiproliferative, as well as vasodilatory and vasoconstrictor substances have been identified with the endothelium.
