Contribution of potassium channels, beta2-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors in the relaxant effect of baicalein on rat tracheal smooth muscle
Objective(s): Baicalein, a compound extracted from a variety of herbs, showed various pharmacological effects. This study evaluated the relaxant effects of baicalein and its underlying molecular mechanisms of action on rat’s isolated tracheal smooth muscle.Materials and Methods: Tracheal smooth muscle were contracted by 10 μM methacholin...
متن کاملContribution of potassium channels in human umbilical artery contractions
Bradykinin (BK) and serotonin (5-HT) are vasoactive agents that significantly contribute to the normal functioning of fetoplacental blood flow, including modulation of smooth muscle tone in umbilical vein and arteries. Accordingly, umbilical artery is a crucial component of fetoplacental circulation with the vital function of providing suitable perfusion and nutrition for placenta. The aim of t...
متن کاملSynthesis and Vasorelaxant Effect of 9-aryl-1,8-acridinediones as Potassium Channel Openers in Isolated Rat Aorta
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. There has been considerable interest in exploring KATP channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. The purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...

متن کاملThe inwardly rectifying K+ channel KIR7.1 controls uterine excitability throughout pregnancy
Abnormal uterine activity in pregnancy causes a range of important clinical disorders, including preterm birth, dysfunctional labour and post-partum haemorrhage. Uterine contractile patterns are controlled by the generation of complex electrical signals at the myometrial smooth muscle plasma membrane. To identify novel targets to treat conditions associated with uterine dysfunction, we undertoo...
