Possible Interaction: Potassium Chloride and Calcium Supplement

“A calcium free bath inhibited responses of digital arteries to potassium chloride more than noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine or U46619, and responses of rat aorta to a greater extent than responses of the digital arteries.”

“In the presence of either KCl or 5-hydroxytryptamine, subsequent addition of Ca++ caused reproducible contractions which were also inhibited by nifedipine.”

“In the presence of 120 mM KCl , the affinity of the protein for calcium is drastically reduced.”

“Treatment of cultured cortical cells with KCl produces a depolarization process that results in the increase of intracellular calcium concentration in a KCl concentration-dependent manner.”

“High KCl stimulation increased free Ca influx into the cells on Ca(2+) imaging.”

“Furthermore, the maximal Ca ²⁺] _i was enhanced obviously by either KCl or caffeine stimulation in As₂O₃-treated cardiomyocytes.”

“The addition of 5 mM calcium leads to a 4.86 +/- 0.19 fold (SD) (n = 3) increase in activity, which is fully prevented with 150 mM KCl.”

“CA did not modify the response of KCl, but KCl abolished the elevation of Ins4P by CA.”

“High KCl (16 to 96 mmol/L), which stimulates Ca2+ entry from the extracellular space, also caused increases in active stress that were greater in RUPP than in normal pregnant, in pregnant/LS than in pregnant/NS, and in RUPP/LS than in RUPP/NS rats.”

“Synaptoneurosomes, prepared immediately and 5 min after training, were stimulated with 70 mM potassium chloride in the presence of 2 mM calcium , resulting in a significantly enhanced increase in calcium concentration in synaptoneurosomes from the left hemisphere of trained chicks.”
