Modulation of KATP channels by diazoxide preserves mitochondrial function and barrier integrity under staurosporine‐induced epithelial stress

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 12, Page 3213-3233, June 2026.
Background and Purpose Intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by mitochondrial stress, oxidative damage and apoptosis, are hallmarks of dysbiosis‐associated gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Staurosporine causes downstream features of dysbiosis‐induced epithelial damage.

Diazoxide and moderate‐intensity exercise improve skeletal muscle function by decreasing oxidants and enhancing antioxidant defenses in hypertensive male rats

Physiological Reports
High sodium intake is decisive in the incidence increase and prevalence of hypertension, which has an impact on skeletal muscle functionality. Diazoxide is an antihypertensive agent that inhibits insulin secretion and is an opener of KATP channels ...

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2197-2218, May 2026.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion with K(ATP) Channel Modulators Antagonize Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

Cells, 2021
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been implemented to increase the number of donor lungs available for transplantation. The use of K(ATP) channel modulators during EVLP experiments may protect against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and may inhibit the ...

Future Prospects of Imatinib in Advanced Pulmonary Hypertension Management

IUBMB Life, Volume 78, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe, progressive disease characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and increased vascular resistance. This hemodynamic strain forces the right ventricle to pump against a high‐pressure system, ultimately leading to right‐sided heart failure and death.

Heterozygous Insulin Receptor (INSR) Mutation Associated with Neonatal Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycaemia and Familial Diabetes Mellitus: Case Series

JCRPE, 2020
Mutations in the insulin receptor (INSR) gene are associated with insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia. Various autosomal dominant heterozygous INSR mutations leading to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (HH) have been described in adults and children ...

An OGT Missense Variant With Impaired Enzyme Activity in a Child With Severe Developmental Delay and Hepatoblastoma

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 2, Page 502-510, February 2026.
ABSTRACT O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and its antagonist O‐GlcNAcase (OGA) regulate protein O‐GlcNAcylation, a highly conserved post‐translational modification involved in metabolic sensing. Pathogenic variants in the OGT gene cause an X‐linked congenital disorder of glycosylation (OGT‐CDG) presenting developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual ...
