Calcium-dependent potassium channels in the heart: clarity and confusion.
Small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK) channels are widely expressed throughout the body. After initial dismissal of a functional role for SK channels in the heart, a series of elegant studies from the Chiamvimonvat laboratory rekindled interest, as did subsequent work suggesting that tachypaced rabbit pulmonary veins have enhanced SK channel trafficking to the cell membrane that accelerates ...
متن کاملInteractive effects of the GABABergic modulation of calcium channels and calcium-dependent potassium channels in lamprey.
The GABAB-mediated modulation of spinal neurons in the lamprey is investigated in this study. Activation of GABAB receptors reduces calcium currents through both low- (LVA) and high-voltage activated (HVA) calcium channels, which subsequently results in the reduction of the calcium-dependent potassium (KCa) current. This in turn will reduce the peak amplitude of the afterhyperpolarization (AHP)...
متن کاملATP-sensitive Potassium Channels and L-type Calcium Channels are Involved in Morphine-induced Hyperalgesia after Nociceptive Sensitization in Mice
Introduction: We investigated the role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and L-type calcium channels in morphine-induced hyperalgesia after nociceptive sensitization. Methods: We used a hotplate apparatus to assess pain behavior in male NMRI mice. Nociceptive sensitization was induced by three days injection of morphine and five days of drug free. On day 9 of the schedule, pain behavior te...
متن کاملInvolvement of voltage-dependent calcium channels in synaptic plasticity of the rat visual cortex
In this study, involvement ofvoltage-dependent calcium channels in LTP of responses of rat visual cortex slices was analyzed. Field potentials including EPSP1 and EPSP2 from layers II/III were recorded through stimulation of layer IV. Whereas nifedipine, a L-type calcium channel blocker (L-VDCC), did not considerably affect the LTP of responses, but Ni2+, a relatively selective blocker of T-typ...
