Enhancement of a test tetanus-induced rise in [Ca2+]i after the conditioning tetanus and the blockade by ryanodine. (A) Enhancement of a test tetanus-induced rise in [Ca2+]i (50 Hz, 20 pulses) after the conditioning tetanus (10 Hz, 6 min) and its blockade by ryanodine (10 μM) in a low Ca2+, high Mg2+ solution. Ryanodine was applied for 30 min. (B) Enhancement of a test tetanus-induced rise in [Ca2+]i (50 Hz, 10 pulses) after the conditioning tetanus (10 Hz, 3 min) in normal Ringer solution. Test tetanus-induced rises in [Ca2+]i were recorded by measuring changes in dOGB-1 fluorescence with an intensified CCD camera.
