Testosterone relaxes coronary arteries by opening the large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel.
Cardiovascular diseases are often considered to be a predominantly male health problem, and it has been suggested that testosterone exerts deleterious effects on cardiovascular function; however, few experimental studies support this suggestion. Moreover, the cellular and molecular mechanism(s) underlying vascular responses to testosterone is unknown. The present study has investigated the acut...
متن کاملAdenosine and hypoxic dilation of rat coronary small arteries: roles of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel, endothelium, and nitric oxide.
The aims of the study were to examine the roles of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel, the endothelium, and nitric oxide (NO) in the responses of rat coronary small arteries to adenosine and hypoxia. Segments of rat coronary vessel were investigated in vitro using pressure myography; all vessels studied developed stable spontaneous myogenic tone during equilibration. Glibenclamide (a ...
متن کاملDual regulation of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel by caffeine.
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels couple cellular metabolic status to changes in membrane electrical properties. Caffeine (1,2,7-trimethylxanthine) has been shown to inhibit several ion channels; however, how caffeine regulates K(ATP) channels was not well understood. By performing single-channel recordings in the cell-attached configuration, we found that bath application of caffeine s...
متن کاملATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Currents in Eccentrically Hypertrophied Cardiac Myocytes of Volume-Overloaded Rats
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP)) protect the myocardium from hypertrophy induced by pressure-overloading. In this study, we determined the effects of these channels in volume-overloading. We compared the effects of a K(ATP) agonist and a K(ATP) antagonist on sarcolemmal transmembrane current density (pA/pF) clamped at 20 mV increments of membrane potential from -80 to +40 mV in ventric...

were concentration-dependently relaxed by PGD2 (0.01-1 ,uM), a reaction that was blocked by a selective PGD receptor antagonist (BW A868C). There was a tight correlation between PGD2and acetylcholineinduced relaxations (r=0.894, n=96, p<0.001). Removal of endothelium abolished the PGD2-induced relaxation and unmasked a contractile activity of the compound. Inhibition of endogenous PGI2 formatio...
