Ryanodine-induced vasoconstriction of the gerbil spiral modiolar artery depends on the Ca(2+) sensitivity but not on Ca(2+) sparks or BK channels

BACKGROUND: In many vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca(2+) sparks activate large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels leading to lowered SMC [Ca(2+)](i) and vasodilation. Here we investigated whether Ca(2+) sparks regulate SMC global [Ca(2+)](i) and diamet...
