Quantifying calcium fluxes underlying calcium puffs in Xenopus laevis oocytes

We determine the calcium fluxes through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor/channels underlying calcium puffs of Xenopus laevis oocytes using a simplified version of the algorithm of Ventura et al. [1]. An analysis of 130 puffs obtained with Fluo-4 indicates that Ca2+ release comes from a region o...

[1].

Simulations of more detailed models in which channels open and close stochastically show that this nonlinear behavior can be attributed to the limited time resolution of the observations and to the averaging procedure that is implicit in the mean-field models.
