Characterization of calcium sources and downstream signaling pathways following electrical field stimulation of rodent longitudinal esophageal muscle
Aims To explore the mechanisms involved in esophageal body longitudinal muscle contraction induced by electrical field stimulation. Methods Isometric contractions of esophageal segments from wistar rats in an organ bath were induced by electrical field stimulation (duration 1 s, frequency 1-100 Hz, intensity 30-90 V) b...
