Expression of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in human pregnant myometrium
BACKGROUND Potassium channels play critical roles in the regulation of cell membrane potential, which is central to the excitability of myometrium. The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel is one of the most abundant potassium channels in myometrium. The objectives of this study were to investigate the protein expression of KATP channel in human myometrium and determine the levels of KATP cha...
متن کاملAnti-nociceptive effect of cimetidine in mice: the role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels
Recent studies have shown that intracerebroventricular administration of cimetidine (CIM) induces anti-nociceptive and anti–inflammatory effects in rats. However, the underlying mechanism of CIM effect has not been determined yet. This study was planned to determine the anti-nociceptive effect of CIM (50 mg/kg, i.p.) in male mice (25-30 g, n = 80) using tail flick test. Also, the role of ATP-se...

متن کاملCardiovascular ATP-sensitive potassium channels
Sulfonylurea drugs stimulate endogenous insulin secretion by blockade of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic beta cells. These drugs are widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, as ATP-sensitive potassium channels also exist in cardiomyocytes and coronary and peripheral arterial vascular smooth muscle cells, sulfonylurea drug usage in theory may cause unwanted cardio...
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...
