calcium channel agonists

Preferred Label : calcium channel agonists;

MeSH definition : 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.;

MeSH synonym : agonist, calcium channel; activators, calcium channel; calcium channel activators; channel activators, calcium; channel agonists, calcium; agonists, calcium channel; channel agonist, calcium; calcium channel agonist;

MeSH hyponym : exogenous calcium channel agonists; Calcium Channel Agonists, Exogenous;

MeSH annotation : vasoconstrictors; DF: CALCIUM CHANNEL AGON or CALCIUM CHANNEL AG;
