On the Mechanisms Whereby Temperature Affects Excitation-Contraction Coupling in Smooth Muscle

Moderate cooling of smooth muscle can modulate force production and may contribute to pathophysiological conditions, but the mechanisms underlying its effects are poorly understood. Interestingly, cooling increases force in rat ureter, but decreases it in guinea pigs. Therefore, this study used uret...
