Figure 5. The acute effect of halothane on the stimulated Ca2+level induced by U46619, platelet-activating factor, and thrombin. Experiments were done in the presence of 1 mM external CaCl2. Halothane (H, 1.6 mM) was added 30 s (arrow) after platelet stimulation with either 1 [micro sign]M U46619 (A) or 10 nM platelet-activating factor (PAF)(B) and 60 s after stimulation with 1 U/ml thrombin (C). This protocol allows the fast depletion of internal Ca2+stores, keeping an important contribution of the capacitative Ca2+influx. Control curves are labeled as C. Cytosolic Ca (2+) concentration is expressed as micromolar.
