Supports further investigation of developmental ion channel changes in rodents; leaves open any clinical or translational relevance.
Nakamura et al. (1994) studied this question. Adult age (8 weeks) vs. Neonatal age (1 week) was evaluated on mRNA expression levels of Kv1.2. The level of Kv1.2 mRNA expression in adult rat cardiac ventricles was significantly higher than in neonatal rats.
