Example sentences for: capacitative
How can you use “capacitative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
One of the most common mechanisms that regulate entry of calcium is by capacitative or store-operated calcium entry [ 14 ] . The epithelial Ca-release activated channel, I CRAC , is a highly calcium-selective plasma membrane ion channel that is activated on lowering of either intracellular calcium concentration or intracellular calcium stores.
Differences in smooth muscle layer thickness, however, do not always satisfactorily explain why in some instances, including stimulation of postganglionic nerve terminals, veins are more responsive than corresponding arteries [ 3 4 5 6 ] . Although differences in the type and amount of neurotransmitters, receptor density and/or sensitivity for neurotransmitter action, or signal transduction mechanisms that couple membrane receptors to the contractile elements have been proposed to underlie the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation, the possibility that mesenteric artery and vein convey distinct expression levels of contractile proteins has not been ruled out.
It remains to be determined whether the relatively bigger amount of caldesmon and TM-α is advantageous for the artery in fulfilling resistive functions, and whether more TM-β is a prerequisite for veins to fulfill capacitative functions in the mesenteric circulation.
In addition, this study contributes to the relatively rare comparative studies on capacitative and resistive blood vessels from the same vascular bed.
While in various circumstances the mesenteric veins display a greater responsiveness to contractile stimuli than the corresponding arteries [ 5 21 ] , this difference should be attributed to the specificity of the neuroeffector coupling, or to signal transduction mechanisms underlying the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation.
