Time course effects of different doses of SKF-96365 (A) and NiCl2 (B) on [Ca2+]i change (Δ[Ca2+]i) before and after restoration of extracellular [Ca2+] to 2.5 mM in distal PVSMC perfused with Ca2+-free KRB solution containing 10 μM CPA, 1 mM EGTA, and 5 μM nifedipine. Average peak change in Δ[Ca2+]i before (C, between 0 and 15 min) and after (D, between 15 and 30 min) restoration of extracellular [Ca2+] in cells exposed to SKF-96365 (1, 10, and 50 μM; C), NiCl2 (50, 200, and 500 μM; D), or vehicle control. *Significant difference from respective control (P < 0.05). **P < 0.05 vs. value at 1 μM SKF-96365 or 50 μM NiCl2. ***P < 0.05 vs. value at 10 μM SKF-96365 or 200 μM NiCl2.
