[Disturbance of intracellular calcium distribution in fatty tissue in hypertension (essential hypertension)].

The authors used the method of isotope exchange (45Ca) to study in vitro the distribution of calcium in the adipose tissue of the greater omentum in individuals with essential hypertension and in persons with normal arterial pressure who underwent opration mostly for chronic cholecystitis. Three pools of exchangeable calcium were revealed in the adipose tissue. The calcium content in two intracellular pools in the adipose tissue of patients with hypertension was increased respectively by 71 and 83% as compared to that in patients with normal arterial pressure.
