WAY 120,491 activates ATP-sensitive potassium channels in rat tail artery.
WAY 120,491 lowers blood pressure in a number of animal models. Its mechanism of action appears to be the selective opening of K+ channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. The patch clamp technique was used to determine the specific K+ channel affected by WAY 120,491 in isolated tail artery cells of the rat. In the inside-out configuration, WAY 120,491 caused a dose dependent partial reversal o...
متن کاملRapid Publication Lactate Activates ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels
The functional significance of cardiac ATP-sensitive potassium channels remains controversial because of the discrepancy between the low levels ofATP at which activation of the channels occurs and the much higher levels of ATP maintained during myocardial ischemia. We studied the effects of (+)-lactate, which accumulates in large quantity as a result of increased glycolysis during ischemia, on ...
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 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...
