CALCIUM CHANNEL AGONISTS

Specialty Definition: CALCIUM CHANNEL AGONISTS

DomainDefinition

Health

Agents that increase calcium influx into calcium channels of excitable tissues. This causes vasoconstriction in vascular smooth muscle and/or cardiac muscle cells as well as stimulation of insulin release from pancreatic islets. Therefore, tissue-selective calcium agonists have the potential to combat cardiac failure and endocrinological disorders. They have been used primarily in experimental studies in cell and tissue culture. (references)
