The contractile responses of esophageal smooth muscle (SM) induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) involve the activation of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-type VDCCs), ...

Ferulic acid suppresses ileal smooth muscle contraction by inhibiting calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels. This action may help prevent or treat excessive intestinal motility ...

IT has been postulated that calcium ions act as the link between depolarization and contraction in cardiac 1 and skeletal muscle 2. This hypothesis is based on the results of experiments relating the ...

Taking Vitamin C and calcium together improves gut calcium absorption and may also enhance bone and immune system health.

Muscle contraction is the tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity. It can happen when you hold or pick up something, or when you stretch or exercise with weights.
