Metabolic Control of Epilepsy: A Promising Therapeutic Target for Epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that is not always controlled, and the ketogenic diet shows good antiepileptic effects drug-resistant epilepsy or seizures caused by specific metabolic defects via regulating the metabolism.

Activation of KATP channels in pain modulation: a systematic review of preclinical studies

Frontiers in Physiology
ObjectiveTo systematically review the involvement of KATP channel activation in pain modulation in preclinical studies.BackgroundKATP channels are expressed at several levels in the spinal and trigeminal pain pathways, where they seem to modulate ...

KCNE1 and KCNE2 provide a checkpoint governing voltage-gated potassium channel α-subunit composition [PDF]

, 2011
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) currents generated by N-type α-subunit homotetramers inactivate rapidly because an N-terminal ball domain blocks the channel pore after activation.

ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels in the Cerebral Circulation [PDF]

Stroke, 2003
Background— In brain blood vessels, electrophysiological studies proving the existence of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K ATP ) are scarce. However, numerous pharmacological studies establish the importance of K ATP channels in these blood vessels ...

Anionic Phospholipids Activate ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) controls insulin release in pancreatic beta-cells and also modulates important functions in other cell types. In this study we report that anionic phospholipids activated KATP in pancreatic beta-cells, cardiac myocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and a cloned KATP composed of two subunits (SUR/Kir6.

Pharmacological Profiling of K_ATP Channel Modulators: An Outlook for New Treatment Opportunities for Migraine

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Migraine is a highly disabling pain disorder with huge socioeconomic and personal costs. It is genetically heterogenous leading to variability in response to current treatments and frequent lack of response. Thus, new treatment strategies are needed.

Effects of Simvastatin on Glucose Metabolism in Mouse MIN6 Cells

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2014
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simvastatin on insulin secretion in mouse MIN6 cells and the possible mechanism. MIN6 cells were, respectively, treated with 0 μM, 2 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM simvastatin for 48 h.

Direct effect of mild hypothermia on the coronary vasodilation induced by an ATP-sensitive K channel opener, a nitric oxide donor and isoflurane in isolated rat hearts. [PDF]

, 2010
PURPOSE: Deliberate mild hypothermia (MHT) is applied for cerebroprotection after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and during cardiac surgery. MHT has been shown to alter both contractility and relaxation of blood vessels in the brain.

K(ATP) channel gene expression is induced by urocortin and mediates its cardioprotective effect

, 2002
Background— Urocortin is a novel cardioprotective agent that can protect cardiac myocytes from the damaging effects of ischemia/reperfusion both in culture and in the intact heart and is effective when given at reperfusion.

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
