    • Effect on Blood Pressure of Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium in Women With Low Habitual Intake 

      Sacks, Frank; Willett, Walter C.; Smith, A.; Brown, L. E.; Rosner, Bernard Alfred; Moore, Thomas Burton (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 1998)
      In populations, dietary intakes of potassium, calcium, and magnesium each have been inversely associated with blood pressure. However, most clinical trials in normotensive populations have not found that dietary supplements ...

    • Ion channels and calcium signaling in motile cilia 

      Doerner, Julia F; Delling, Markus; Clapham, David E (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2015)
      The beating of motile cilia generates fluid flow over epithelia in brain ventricles, airways, and Fallopian tubes. Here, we patch clamp single motile cilia of mammalian ependymal cells and examine their potential function ...

    • Magnesium intake, plasma C-peptide, and colorectal cancer incidence in US women: a 28-year follow-up study 

      Zhang, Xiaoxiao; Giovannucci, Edward L.; Wu, Kunling; Smith-Warner, Stephanie A.; Fuchs, Charles Stewart; Pollak, Martin Russell; Willett, Walter C.; Ma, Jing (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
      Background: Laboratory studies suggest a possible role of magnesium intake in colorectal carcinogenesis but epidemiological evidence is inconclusive. Method: We tested magnesium–colorectal cancer hypothesis in the Nurses' ...

    • Protein Kinase C Inhibitors as Modulators of Vascular Function and Their Application in Vascular Disease 

      Khalil, Raouf A. (MDPI, 2013)
      Blood pressure (BP) is regulated by multiple neuronal, hormonal, renal and vascular control mechanisms. Changes in signaling mechanisms in the endothelium, vascular smooth muscle (VSM) and extracellular matrix cause ...

    • Protein kinase C is a calcium sensor for presynaptic short-term plasticity 

      Fioravante, Diasynou; Chu, YunXiang; de Jong, Arthur PH; Leitges, Michael; Kaeser, Pascal S; Regehr, Wade G (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2014)
      In presynaptic boutons, calcium (Ca2+) triggers both neurotransmitter release and short-term synaptic plasticity. Whereas synaptotagmins are known to mediate vesicle fusion through binding of high local Ca2+ to their C2 ...
