Abstract excerpt

An accelerated weight gain is noted in the heart of Ca-deficient, hypertensive chick embryos maintained in a shell-less culture in vitro. We previously observed that the Ca handling property of cardiomyocytes isolated from the shell-less embryo is altered, i.e., faster Ca uptake, suggesting a req...
