Resting Tension Affects eNOS Activity in a Calcium-Dependent Way in Airways
The alteration of resting tension (RT) from 0.5 g to 2.5 g increased significantly airway smooth muscle contractions induced by acetylcholine (ACh) in rabbit trachea. The decrease in extracellular calcium concentration [Ca(2+)](o) from 2 mM to 0.2 mM reduced ACh-induced contractions only at 2.5 g RT...
