Key result
Angiotensin-induced hypertension results in a marked decrease in expression of the β subunit of the BK channel, suggesting a role for this critical subunit in the regulation of vascular tone.
The β subunit of the BK channel may play a critical role in the regulation of vascular tone in the context of angiotensin-induced hypertension.
A new study (see the related article beginning on page 717) demonstrates that angiotensin-induced hypertension results in a marked decrease in expression of the β subunit of the BK channel, suggesting a role for this critical subunit in the regulation of vascular tone.

Kotlikoff et al. (2003) conducted an editorial in Hypertension. Angiotensin II was evaluated. Angiotensin-induced hypertension results in a marked decrease in expression of the β subunit of the BK channel, suggesting a role for this critical subunit in the regulation of vascular tone.
