Detection, properties, and frequency of local calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in teleost cardiomyocytes.

Calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) plays a central role in the regulation of cardiac contraction and rhythm in mammals and humans but its role is controversial in teleosts. Since the zebrafish is an emerging model for studies of cardiovascular function and regeneration we here soug...
