FIGURE 1.

SOCE in smooth muscle tissue of the aorta and mesenteric arteries. Representative images and traces of 2.5 mM Ca²⁺ application-induced [Ca²⁺]_i increase after 4 μM TG induced Ca²⁺ store depletion in smooth muscle tissue of the aorta (A–C) and mesenteric arteries (E and F) from Young and aged rats. Data showing that [Ca²⁺]_i increases in response to extracellular Ca²⁺ application after TG treatment in the aorta (D) and mesenteric arteries (G). Values are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 5–7); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Young (3 months old) versus aged (22 months old).
