Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, are potent stereospecific activators of the cardiac K(ATP) channel. The epoxide group in EET is critical for reducing channel sensitivity to ATP, thereby activating...
