MiRP1 forms IKr potassium channels with HERG and is associated with cardiac arrhythmia. [PDF]
A novel potassium channel gene has been cloned, characterized, and associated with cardiac arrhythmia. The gene encodes MinK-related peptide 1 (MiRP1), a small integral membrane subunit that assembles with HERG, a pore-forming protein, to alter its ...

Quinidine, but not eicosanoid antagonists or dexamethasone, protect the gut from platelet activating factor-induced vasoconstriction, edema and paralysis. [PDF]
Intestinal circulatory disturbances, atony, edema and swelling are of great clinical relevance, but the related mechanisms and possible therapeutic options are poorly characterized, in part because of the difficulties to comprehensively analyze these ...

Mexiletine-quinidine combination: Electrophysiologic correlates of a favorable antiarrhythmic interaction in humans [PDF]
Combination therapy with mexiletine and quinidine has been shown to be more effective than either agent alone. The ability of mexiletine monotherapy, quinidine monotherapy and mexiletine-quinidine combination therapy to suppress inducible sustained ...

Glycine Betaine Fluxes in Lactobacillus plantarum during Osmostasis and Hyper- and Hypo-osmotic Shock [PDF]
Bacteria respond to changes in medium osmolarity by varying the concentrations of specific solutes in order to maintain constant turgor. The primary response of Lactobacillus plantarum to an osmotic upshock involves the accumulation of compatible solutes
