Apamin-induced alterations in J774 1.6 macrophage metabolism [PDF]
Among the immune system cells, macrophages have an important role. Apamin, a bee venom constituent, is important in the defense of these insects. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the metabolism of J774 1.6 macrophage cell line when exposed to isolated and ...

Cardiovascular effects of apamin and BRL 34915 in rats and rabbits [PDF]
The cardiovascular effects of apamin, a selective blocker of certain calcium‐activated potassium channels, and BRL 34915, a vasodilator thought to act by opening of potassium channels, have been investigated in vivo in rats and rabbits. In anaesthetized normotensive rats, apamin (0.05 and 0.15 mg kg−1, i.v.) potentiated angiotensin II pressor ...

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long‐term inflammatory disease linked to higher mortality, joint degeneration, and long‐term disability. This study evaluated the anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects of Capsicum annuum (CAP) hydroethanolic extract and bee venom (BV) in Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA)‐induced RA in rats.

The relationship between apamin binding and channel block in KCa2 potassium channels.
Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa2.1,2.2,2.3) are widely distributed throughout the body and are involved in diverse physiological processes including the regulation of neuronal firing and smooth muscle contraction.

The pharmacology of hSK1 Ca2+-activated K+ channels expressed in mammalian cell lines.
The pharmacology of hSK1, a small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, was studied in mammalian cell lines (HEK293 and COS-7). In these cell types, hSK1 forms an apamin-sensitive channel with an IC(50) for apamin of 8 nM in HEK293 cells and ...

Calcium regulation of muscle spindle mechanosensory afferent function
Abstract Extracellular calcium is crucial for the normal function of muscle spindle sensory afferents. They express multiple calcium buffering proteins. Extracellular calcium is essential for recycling of synaptic‐like vesicles (SLVs) in the terminals and for the stretch‐evoked inward calcium current of the receptor potential.
