title: Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release in skinned single smooth muscle cells isolated from guinea-pig taenia caeci.
abstract: The Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ storage sites of skinned single smooth muscle cells isolated from guinea-pig taenia caeci was studied. The Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ storage sites of the skinned single cells was enhanced by the presence of submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ in the solution. The Ca2+ release was enhanced by caffeine and adenine, and suppressed by Mg2+ and procaine. These results suggest that the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release mechanism may play an important role in the release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites of guinea-pig taenia caeci smooth muscle cells.
