Calcium fluxes in frog heart ventricles

Pflügers Archiv volume 306, pages 357–360 (1969)Cite this article

Summary

Calcium fluxes in frog heart ventricles are determined both during quiescence and during periods of activity. The two main results: (a) calcium influx is much increased by activity; (b) a net release of calcium from the cells occurs immediately after activity, in parallel with, and probably related to, the decline in tension of the downward “staircase”.
