Abstract
IN this brief review, only an overview of our rapidly expanding knowledge of the organization and function of the calcium messenger system will be possible. This messenger system has a central role in mediating the contraction of all forms of muscle, the secretion of exocrine, endocrine, and neurocrine products, the metabolic processes of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, the transport and secretion of fluids and electrolytes, and the growth of cells. Hence, disorders of the function of the calcium messenger system underlie the development of a variety of disorders ranging from hypertension and vasospasm, bronchial asthma, clotting abnormalities related to platelet dysfunction, . . .Keywords
