17β‐estradiol reduces Ca(v)1.2 channel abundance and attenuates Ca(2+)‐dependent contractions in coronary arteries

One mechanism by which the female sex may protect against elevated coronary vascular tone is inhibition of Ca(2+) entry into arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). In vitro findings confirm that high estrogen concentrations directly inhibit voltage‐dependent Ca(v)1.2 channels in coronary ASMCs. For t...
