Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors in Hypertension by Ali H. Eid (5461829)

“…Evidence supports a role for vascular aging in the development of hypertension involving an impairment in endothelial function together with an alteration in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) calcium homeostasis leading to increased myogenic tone. Changes in free intracellular calcium levels ([Ca²⁺]_<em>i</em>) are mediated either by the influx of Ca²⁺ from the extracellular space or release of Ca²⁺ from intracellular stores, mainly the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). …”
