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