Influence of bradykinin on calcium movements in rat uterus

Acta Biol Med Ger. 1980;39(4):509-12.

Abstract

In rat uterus three phases of the exchange of muscle calcium were found. An influence of bradykinin on the quantities of these compartments and on the half-times could not be demonstrated. But an increase of 45Ca efflux rate coefficient could be shown during the relaxation phase following a bradykinin-induced contraction.
