A natural compound from Traditional Chinese Medicine may help prevent coronary artery spasms by relaxing arteries and ...

A team of researchers from Toho University has uncovered a potential new use for a naturally occurring compound, schisandrin ...

Heart attack prevention may lie not in pills but in your pantry. Japanese scientists discovered that ferulic acid, present in foods like rice and spinach, significantly reduces artery spasms linked to ...

Ferulic acid suppresses ileal smooth muscle contraction by inhibiting calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels. This action may help prevent or treat excessive intestinal ...

First, like diltiazem, it blocks L-type calcium channels, the cellular doorways that allow calcium to enter muscle cells and trigger contractions. But ferulic acid doesn’t stop there. The researchers ...

– Mexiletine appears to be safe and is likely an effective treatment for managing symptoms of myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation after a contraction) in people with non-dystrophic myotonia and it ...

Calcium ions are involved in regulating almost all biological functions of the body, such as the heart and muscle contractions, neuro-information transmission, learning and memory, embryo formation ...

The type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an important calcium release channel in skeletal muscles essential for muscle contraction. It mediates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a ...

It mediates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a calcium-storing organelle in muscle cells, a process vital for muscle function. Mutations in the RyR1 gene can affect the channel’s ...
