Heteromultimeric delayed-rectifier K+ channels in schwann cells: developmental expression and role in cell proliferation.

Schwann cells (SCs) are responsible for myelination of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system. Voltage-dependent K+ currents, including inactivating A-type (KA), delayed-rectifier (KD), and inward-rectifier (KIR) K+ channels, constitute the main conductances found in SCs. Physiological studies have shown that KD channels may play an important role in SC proliferation and that they are do...

Inhibition of delayed rectifier K+ channels by dexfenfluramine (Redux).

In light of recent reports linking K+ channel modulation with food intake and macronutrient preference, we investigated the effect of anorectic agent dexfenfluramine (d-FF), a 5-HT reuptake inhibitor and releasing agent, on the delayed rectifier K+ (DRK) channels in rat lingual taste cells using the patch-clamp technique in whole-cell configuration. In a concentration-dependent manner, d-FF cau...

Impact of Magnesium Deficiency on Pancreatic β-Cell Function in Type 2 Diabetic Nigerians

Objective: Pancreatic b-cell dysfunction is described to be present at the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and progressively deteriorated with disease duration. However, its progression is variable and potentially influenced by several factors. The Magnesium (Mg) deficiency mediates insulin resistance but reports regarding its role in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction are scarce and co...

Inward rectifier potassium channels. Cloning, expression and structure-function studies.

A PCR-based cloning strategy was used to identify novel subunits of the two-transmembrane domain inward rectifier potassium channel family from rat brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, two of these clones (Kir4.1 and Kir2.3) gave rise to inwardly rectifying potassium currents. Two-electrode voltage clamp commands to potentials negative to EK evoked inward potass...
