nifedipine and Contracture

nifedipine has been researched along with Contracture in 4 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Contracture: Prolonged shortening of the muscle or other soft tissue around a joint, preventing movement of the joint.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The contractures were not due to depolarization (membrane potential, Vm, did not change during Cd2+ removal) or to an influx of external Ca2+ (the transient tension increase was recorded when solutions either lacked Ca2+, or contained 2 mM Co2+)."5.31Cadmium withdrawal contractures in rat soleus muscle fibres. ( Dulhunty, AF; Mould, J, 2000)
