Vessel Smooth Muscle Electrophysiology model with stress-controlled Na+ conductance of the NSC channel.
Description
This model is a modification to the VSM electrophysiology model by Kapela et al. that includes a stress-controlled Na+ conductance of the NSC channel which is posited as a possible channel involved with the acute diameter regulation in the myogenic response in the paper by Carlson and Beard. The simulation project file as originally designed here replicates Figure 3 from Kapela et al. with a ramped increase in stress applied to the VSM cell starting at 10000 ms and reaching 100 kPa at 42500 ms followed by a ramped decrease back to 0 kPa at 75000 ms.
Equations
The equations for this model may be viewed by running the JSim model applet and clicking on the Source tab at the bottom left of JSim's Run Time graphical user interface. The equations are written in JSim's Mathematical Modeling Language (MML). See the Introduction to MML and the MML Reference Manual.
