ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are present in many tissues, including pancreatic
islet cells, heart, skeletal muscle, vascular smooth muscle, and brain, in which they couple …

Different types of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels have been identified in cardiomyocytes,
vascular smooth muscle cells, pancreatic β-cells, neurons and mitochondria. Years before …

Objectives: Exercise-induced vasodilation is thought to be mediated through various
vasodilator substances, but blunting the influence of vasoconstrictors such as ET may also …

In dogs, only combined blockade of vasodilator pathways [via adenosine receptors, nitric
oxide synthase (NOS) and ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels] results in impairment of …

■ Abstract This study tested whether the pre-diabetic metabolic syndrome impairs coronary
blood flow control sufficiently to alter the balance between coronary blood flow and …

In response to chronic fetal anemia, coronary blood flow, maximal coronary conductance,
and coronary reserve increase. We sought to determine whether chronic fetal anemia alters …

Experimental data suggest that vascular ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels may be
an important determinant of functional hyperaemia, but the contribution of KATP channels to …

Isolated ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel inhibition with glibenclamide does not alter
exercise-induced forearm metabolic vasodilation. Whether forearm metabolic vasodilation …

It is rather over a decade since vascular ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels were first
identified. Since then these channels have been the subject of extensive research, and …

The extent to which ATP-sensitive K+ channels contribute to reactive hyperemia in humans
is unresolved. We examined the role of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in regulating reactive …
