Gender-specific difference in cardiac ATP-sensitive K(+) channels.
OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to establish whether gender regulates expression and/or properties of cardiac ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels. BACKGROUND Recently, evidence has been provided that differing cardiac responses in males and females to metabolic stress may result from gender-specific difference(s) in the efficiency of endogenous cardioprotective mechanism(s) s...
متن کاملSurface charge and properties of cardiac ATP-sensitive K+ channels
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels are present in a wide variety of tissues. The sensitivity of these channels to closure by cytosolic ATP (ATPi) varies significantly among different tissues and even within the same tissue. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that negative surface charges modulate the sensitivity of the KATP channels to ATPi by influencing surface potential in th...
متن کاملRecombinant cardiac ATP-sensitive potassium channels and cardioprotection.
The ATP-dependent potassium channels (KATP channels) were originally identified in isolated membrane patches prepared from guinea pig ventricular myocytes by Noma in 1983. Since their discovery in cardiac cells, KATP channels have also been discovered in many other tissues, such as smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, pancreas, and brain, in which they have been shown to couple cellular metabolism t...
متن کاملMitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channels modulate cardiac mitochondrial function.
Discovered in the cardiac sarcolemma, ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels have more recently also been identified within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Yet the consequences of mitochondrial KATP channel activation on mitochondrial function remain partially documented. Therefore, we isolated mitochondria from rat hearts and used K+ channel openers to examine the effect of mitochondrial KATPchanne...
متن کاملLigand-insensitive State of Cardiac ATP-sensitive K+ Channels
The mechanism by which ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels open in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of ATP remains unknown. Herein, using a four-state kinetic model, we found that the nucleotide diphosphate UDP directed cardiac KATP channels to operate within intraburst transitions. These transitions are not targeted by ATP, nor the structurally unrelated sulfonylurea glyburide, which inh...
