Definition
English
:
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.
