Investigation of the functional role of endothelial KCa channels in regulation of resistance artery diameter
DownloadSpring 2018
Background: The vascular endothelium regulates arterial diameter, and thus blood flow and pressure, through release of diffusible factors such as nitric oxide (NO), and spread of electrical charge to smooth muscle cells via myoendothelial gap junctions (MEGJs). Activation of these pathways is...

Pharmacological Characterization of Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel Function in Human Platelets
DownloadSpring 2019
Background: Platelets and endothelial cells play an important role in maintaining vascular tone and hemostasis, critical to maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system. In resistance arteries, stimulation of endothelial cell small (SKCa) and intermediate (IKCa) conductance...
