| Calcium Channel Agonists Calcium Channel Activators | Calcium Channel Agonists, Exogenous | Calcium Channel Agonist | Exogenous Calcium Channel Agonists | Activators, Calcium Channel | Agonist, Calcium Channel | Agonists, Calcium Channel | Channel Activators, Calcium Agents that increase calcium influx into calcium channels of excitable tissues. This causes vasoconstriction in vascular smooth muscle and/or cardiac muscle cells as well as stimulation of insulin release from pancreatic islets. Therefore, tissue-selective calcium agonists have the potential to combat cardiac failure and endocrinological disorders. They have been used primarily in experimental studies in cell and tissue culture. |
