The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the dependence of the
arterial contractions induced by different vasoactive agents upon
intracellularly stored calcium in canine versus monkey cerebral arteries.
The potency for inducing contractions in Ca++-free media was in the order
of 9,11-epithio-11,12-metano-thromboxane A2 (STXA2) greater than
prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) much greater than serotonin greater
than K+ in canine basilar arteries, and STXA2 greater than PGF2 alpha much
greater than serotonin = K+ in monkey basilar arteries.
