cium? (chapter 2
Not Normal: Ischemia and certain toxins lead to an increase in cytosolic calcium
4th edition)
because of the increased influx across the cell membrane and the release of calci-
um from intracellular stores (mitochondria and SER). The increased calcium may
activate a number of enzymes with potentially damaging effects. Phospholipases
can damage the cell membrane.

Proteases can damage the cytoskeleton and membrane proteins. ATPases can
break down ATP. Endonucleases can fragment chromatin.
