Expression of the parathyroid Ca(2+)-sensing receptor in cytotrophoblasts from human term placenta
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Fura-2-loaded human cytotrophoblasts responded to elevated extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) with monophasic or, in the case of large (> 20 microns) extravillous cells, biphasic elevations in intracellular free Ca2+ ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) that returned to baseline levels after restoration of control [Ca2+]o. Large extravillous cytotrophoblasts also responded to elevated [Mg2+]o with transient...
