Abstract

To analyze vasopressin-induced Ca$\sub$2＋/ influx in liver cells, rat hepatocytes were isolated and attached to collagen-coated cover slips. Using fura-2, a Ca$\sub$2＋/-sensing dye, changes in intracellular Ca$\sub$2＋/ concentration by vasopressin were monitored. Results in this communication suggested that vasopressin-induced Ca$\sub$2＋/ influx consists of two distinguishable components. One was present for a short time and the other was for a long time until it happened. (omitted)
