Membrane trafficking of ATP-sensitive potassium channels [PDF]
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATp) channels are known to play a vital role in the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic 0-cells. Changes in the ratio of [ATP]/[ADP] within the cell are known to regulate the activity of channels, but very little is ...

The role of potassium channels and calcium in the relaxation mechanism of magnesium sulfate on the isolated rat uterus [PDF]
MgSO4 is used as a tocolytic agent. It is considered to be a calcium channel antagonist, but a different mechanism of its action might be involved. The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of calcium concentrations and potassium channels in ...

Pulmonary vasoconstrictor action of KCNQ potassium channel blockers [PDF]
KCNQ channels have been widely studied in the nervous system, heart and inner ear, where they have important physiological functions. Recent reports indicate that KCNQ channels may also be expressed in portal vein where they are suggested to influence ...

Bisphosphonates Targeting Ion Channels and Musculoskeletal Effects
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most used bone-specific anti-resorptive agents, often chosen as first-line therapy in several bone diseases characterized by an imbalance between osteoblast-mediated bone production and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption ...

ATP-sensitive potassium channels and vascular function [PDF]
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) are widely distributed in different organs of the body. They are best described in pancreatic β cells and cardiac myocytes but are also present in the periph...

Ion Channel Dysfunction in Astrocytes in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Astrocytes play an important role in the central nervous system (CNS). Ion channels in these cells not only function in ion transport, and maintain water/ion metabolism homeostasis, but also participate in physiological processes of neurons and glial ...

Structure of a Pancreatic ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel [PDF]
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) couple intracellular ATP levels with membrane excitability. These channels play crucial roles in many essential physiological processes and have been implicated extensively in a spectrum of metabolic diseases and disorders.

Diazoxide affects mitochondrial bioenergetics by the opening of mKATP channel on submicromolar scale
Background Cytoprotection afforded by mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+-channel (mKATP-channel) opener diazoxide (DZ) largely depends on the activation of potassium cycle with eventual modulation of mitochondrial functions and ROS production.
