Introduction Hyperosmolarity is a concomitant factor to the hyperglycaemia observed in diabetes mellitus, a disease known to affect the function of endothelial cells and cause vascular damage. Previous studies have found that hyperglycaemia is capab...

ORAI and STIM genes are recently identified store-operated calcium channel molecules that play important roles in human physiology. In this thesis, the effects of oxidative stress conditions including high glucose, homocysteine and H₂O₂ on the expres...

Store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) is an important Ca²⁺ influx pathway existing in almost all types of mammalian cell. STIM1, ORAI and TRPC have been regarded as the molecular basis of SOCE. Once the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca²⁺ store is depleted, S... Read More about Pharmacological regulation and function of store-operated calcium channels.
