Abstract excerpt
Endothelial cell function is altered in hypertension. The present study was performed to evaluate the alterations in K+ channels in endothelial cells from hypertensive rats. Currents and membrane potentials were recorded in endothelial cells freshly dissociated from the aorta of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Ca2+-dependent K+ channel blockers, charybdotoxin and...
