<prompt> Which one of the following acts to increase the release of Ca2 from endoplasmic reticulum?Inositol triphosphateParathyroid hormone1, 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferolDiacyiglycerol  <response>: Ischemia and ceain toxins cause an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration, initially because of the release of Ca2 from the intracellular stores, and later resulting from increased influx across the plasma membrane.Increased cytosolic Ca2 activates a number of enzymes, with potentially deleterious cellular effects.These enzymes include phospholipases which cause membrane damage, proteases which break down both membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, endonucleases which are responsible for DNA and chromatin fragmentation, and adenosine triphosphatases ATPases thereby hastening ATP depletion.
