Smooth muscle K(IR) channels function as electrical amplifiers in cerebral and coronary arteries, enhancing vasodilatory responses initiated by other K(+) conductances.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
K(IR) channels may amplify vasodilation selectively in cerebral/coronary arteries; hypothesis-generating for regional vascular mechanisms and human relevance.
Smith et al. (2007) studied this question.
