title: [A method for preparing a fine vascular smooth muscle strip].
abstract: For simultaneous measurement of [Ca2+]i and tension in intact smooth muscle and for tension measurement in skinned smooth muscle, a method for preparing a fine vascular smooth muscle strip was described. This preparation is useful for an extensive investigation of the excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms in vascular smooth muscle under physiological conditions.
