Valine residues in the pore region of SK2 (V366) and SK3 (V520) were replaced by either an alanine or a phenylalanine to evaluate the impact on the interactions with the allosteric blocker apamin. Unlike TEA which showed high sensitivity to

We studied principal neurons from canine intracardiac (IC) ganglia to determine whether large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels play a role in their excitability. We performed whole cell recordings in voltage- and current-clamp modes to measure ion currents and changes in
Recently, we have found that pressure-induced hemolysis is enhanced by inhibiting water transport via aquaporin-1 (AQP1), as seen in p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB)-treated erythrocytes. So, using this method we reinvestigated the functions as AQP1 inhibitors of drugs and chemicals such as acetazolamide

Polyphenol-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are protective against cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanisms of the beneficial effects are still unknown. The goal of this research was to clarify actions of procyanidin trimer (C1) in rat aortic endothelial cells
