Our previous studies indicated that Alzheimer's disease (AD) related amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) significantly altered muscarinic cholinergic receptor (mChR) signaling on the level of G protein regulated phospholipase C (PLC) leading to the lower formation of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol

Elimination of calcium ions from the medium of cell cultures of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn increased flavonolignan production. Silymarin accumulation was not altered by treatment of cultures with the calcium ionophore A23187. The specific Ca2+ chelator, EGTA, enhanced the silymarin
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of motilin on [Ca(2+)](i) regulation and its underlying molecular mechanism in cultured antral smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). Antral cells were isolated and cultured from neonatal rats, and then the [Ca(2+)](i)
We previously demonstrated that 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg(3) (Rg(3)), one of the active components of Panax ginseng, non-competitively inhibits 5-HT(3A) receptor channel activity on extracellular side of the cell. Here, we sought to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying Rg(3)-induced 5-HT(3A) receptor regulation.

Calcium-mediated signalling is ubiquitous in both animals and plants. Changes in cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration couple diverse arrays of stimuli to their specific responses, the specificity of the stimulus being determined by integrated actions between multiple Ca(2+) mobilization pathways. In
