Desensitisation of the calcium – sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle contractile responses were studied in the isolated perfused rat tail artery, employing the activators noradrenaline (NA) (3μm) and potassium chloride (KCL) (100mM). Experiments were conducted in [Ca2+]free buffered saline. Activators were added when (Ca2+) was low (Iμm) and the [Ca2+]free was increased stepwise to give a Ca2+ concentration – response curve (CCRC).
