Effects of CPA on SR Ca2+ release induced by caffeine and norepinephrine in freshly isolated rat distal PASMC

Peak Δ[Ca2+]i, nM
Stimulus Control CPA (10 μM) P Value
Caffeine (30 mM) 290 ± 94 −3 ± 2 <0.04
Norepinephrine (300 μM) 249 ± 14 3 ± 6 <0.001

Values are means ± SE. PASMC, pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells; CPA, cyclopiazonic acid; SR, sarcoplasmic reticulum; Δ[Ca2+]i, change in intracellular Ca2+ concentration.
