متن کاملRole of potassium channels in regulation of cerebral vascular tone.
Several types of potassium (K+) channels are present in cerebral blood vessels. Opening or closure of these ion channels may have significant effects on membrane po tential, which is a major determinant of entry of extra cellular calcium and thus vascular tone, Because of the ionic properties of the cell membrane at rest, the change in activity of only a few K+ channels is sufficient to chang...
متن کاملOxidative Regulation of Large Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels
Reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are readily generated in vivo, playing roles in many physiological and pathological conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, by oxidatively modifying various proteins. Previous studies indicate that large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK(Ca) or Slo) are subject to redox regulation. However, conflicting results exist whether ...
متن کاملRole of NO pathway, calcium and potassium channels in the peripheral pulmonary vascular tone in dogs.
Because hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction occurs mainly in the small pulmonary arteries, the authors investigated the effects of drugs acting on the nitric oxide (NO) pathway and the calcium and potassium channels in the peripheral pulmonary circulation, without interference with the overall pulmonary or systemic circulation. Mixed venous blood was infused in wedged areas to study the pressure...
متن کاملEndothelial potassium channels, endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization and the regulation of vascular tone in health and disease.
1. The elusive nature of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) has hampered detailed study of the ionic mechanisms that underlie the EDHF hyperpolarization and relaxation. Most studies have relied on a pharmacological approach in which interpretations of results can be confounded by limited specificity of action of the drugs used. Nevertheless, small-, intermediate- and large-conduc...
