Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Heterogeneity of lymphocyte calcium metabolism is caused by T cell-specific calcium-sensitive potassium channel and sensitivity of the calcium ATPase pump to membrane potential.
- New model of calcium metabolism is to include both compartmental model and mathematical model because a combination of above two models provides substantial information about the represented system.
- Calcium metabolism is illustrated in a figure.
- We now know that calcium metabolism is a factor in blood pressure regulation in some humans and in some experimental models.
- Indeed, of the four key precipitation factors mentioned above, the role of bacterial calcium metabolism is by far recognised the least.
