GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION AND CONTRACTILE RESPONSES IN THE RAT TAIL ARTERY
The effect of half, double, and quadriple concentrations of the normal (2gm/litre or 10mM) concentration of glucose in the Kreb’s physiological saline were tested on vascular tissues activated by 3M noradrenalline or 100mM potassium chloride olution. The smooth muscle tissues were from isolated tail artery which were perfused with and bathed with calcium buffered physiological saline and with which six consecutive calcium concentration response curves were constructed for each glucose concentration.
