Alteration of intracellular calcium distribution in the adipose tissue of patients with essential hypertension.
The in vitro study of the kinetics of 45Ca efflux from human adipose tissue (omentum major) reveals three pools of exchangeable calcium. The most rapidly exchangeable pool (A) corresponds to extracellular calcium, the two more slowly exchangeable pools (B and C), to intracellular calcium. In the adipose tissue of patients with essential hypertension, the calcium content of the two intracellular pools is increased by 71% and 83%, respectively, as compared to that in normotensive patients.
