Maxi‐K channel (BKC a) activity veils the myogenic tone of mesenteric artery in rats
Arterioles and small arteries change their tone in response to transmural pressure changes, called myogenic tone (MT). In comparison to the branches of cerebral arteries (CA) showing prominent MT, the third branches of mesenteric arteries (MA) with similar diameters show weaker MT Here, we aimed to analyze the electrophysiological differences responsible for the weaker MT in MA (MTMA) than MT i...
متن کاملImpaired myogenic tone in mesenteric arteries from overweight rats
BACKGROUND Rats fed high fat (HFD) or high sucrose (HSD) diets develop increased adiposity as well as impaired vasodilatory responsiveness stemming from oxidative stress. Moreover, HFD rats become hypertensive compared to either control (Chow) or HSD fed rats, suggesting elevated vascular tone. We hypothesized that rats with increased adiposity and oxidative stress demonstrate augmented pressur...

متن کاملMembrane-delimited Inhibition of Maxi-K Channel Activity by the Intermediate Conductance Ca2+-activated K Channel
The complexity of mammalian physiology requires a diverse array of ion channel proteins. This diversity extends even to a single family of channels. For example, the family of Ca2+-activated K channels contains three structural subfamilies characterized by small, intermediate, and large single channel conductances. Many cells and tissues, including neurons, vascular smooth muscle, endothelial c...
متن کاملPregnancy Upregulates Large-Conductance Ca -Activated K Channel Activity and Attenuates Myogenic Tone in Uterine Arteries
Uterine vascular tone significantly decreases whereas uterine blood flow dramatically increases during pregnancy. However, the complete molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that increased Ca -activated K (BKCa) channel activity contributes to the decreased myogenic tone of uterine arteries in pregnancy. Resistance-sized uterine arteries were isolated from nonpregnant and near-te...
