How to use
In Vitro:
Adrenochrome decreases microsomal calcium binding, calcium uptake and Ca2+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent ATPase activities. The inhibitory effect of Adrenochrome on microsomal calcium uptake activity of the isolated membrane is independent of pH (6.0-8.0), calcium concentrations (10-200 μM), protein concentration (0.02-0.10 mg/mL), temperature (25-37 degrees C) and incubation time (2-30 min).
In Vivo:
In isolated rat hearts, concentrations of Adrenochrome from 1 to 1000 ng/mL increases coronary pressure in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the degree of constriction by Adrenochrome is dependent on the CaCl2 concentration in the perfusion medium.
