The effects of 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (TBQ) on cardiac muscle contractility were investigated using cardiac preparations from the right ventricle of the rat. In saponin-skinned preparations, TBQ (50 and 100 microM) did not significantly affect the maximal isometric Ca2+-activated force or the

The exocytosis of insulin-containing granules from pancreatic beta-cells is tightly regulated by changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We investigated the role of the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) pump, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, and plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase pump in the Ca2+ dynamics
