BAD and KATP channels regulate neuron excitability and epileptiform activity [PDF]
Brain metabolism can profoundly influence neuronal excitability. Mice with genetic deletion or alteration of Bad (BCL-2 agonist of cell death) exhibit altered brain-cell fuel metabolism, accompanied by resistance to acutely induced epileptic seizures ...

Photobiomodulation on KATP Channels of Kir6.2-Transfected HEK-293 Cells [PDF]
Background and Objective. ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel couples cell metabolism to excitability. To explore role of KATP channels in cellular photobiomodulation, we designed experiment to study effect of low intensity 808 nm laser irradiation on

The Pharmacology of ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels (KATP)
ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) are inwardly-rectifying potassium channels, broadly expressed throughout the body. KATP is regulated by adenine nucleotides, characteristically being activated by falling ATP and rising ADP levels thus playing an important physiological role by coupling cellular metabolism with membrane excitability.

Ketones prevent oxidative impairment of hippocampal synaptic integrity through KATP channels.
Dietary and metabolic therapies are increasingly being considered for a variety of neurological disorders, based in part on growing evidence for the neuroprotective properties of the ketogenic diet (KD) and ketones.

Results from numerous studies have shown that there is an important link between adenosine A1 receptors and ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in mediating the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (PC). The major aim of the present study was to determine whether occupation of A1 receptors and/or the opening of KATP channels is ...

Do KATP channels have a role in immunity? [PDF]
Ion channels, exchangers and pumps are expressed ubiquitously in cells from all phyla of life. In mammals, their role is best described in excitable cells, where they regulate the initiation and propagation of action potentials.

Role of KATP channels in sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis is an infection-induced inflammatory syndrome responsible for approximately 10% of all deaths worldwide. While pathophysiological mechanisms remain to be fully unravelled, new insights and discoveries are yielding significant improvements in outcome, particularly in the high mortality conditions of shock and multi-organ failure.

Intellectual disability in KATP channel neonatal diabetes [PDF]
OBJECTIVE Neonatal diabetes has been shown to be associated with high neuropsychiatric morbidity in a genotype-phenotype–dependent manner. However, the specific impact of different mutations on intellectual functioning is still insufficiently characterized.

Binding of sulphonylureas to plasma proteins - A KATP channel perspective. [PDF]
Sulphonylurea drugs stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells primarily by inhibiting ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in the β-cell membrane. The effective sulphonylurea concentration at its site of action is significantly attenuated by

Declines in managed honey bee populations are multifactorial but closely associated with reduced virus immunocompetence and thus, mechanisms to enhance immune function are likely to reduce viral infection rates and increase colony viability.
