“In contrast, stimulation with higher concentrations of hypericin (1–5 µM) led to a rapid decrease in Ca <sup>2+</sup> influx and [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>, which was significantly different from those detected without hypericin (control experiments).”
“Stimulation with hypericin, which was applied immediately after preincubation with PMA for …+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>. Conclusion: In RPE cells, high concentrations of hypericin (… Ca <sup>2+</sup> influx and induce a decrease in [Ca<sup>2+</… maybe through its inhibition of the Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx pathway.”
