Antenatal Dexamethasone Exposure Impairs the High-Conductance Ca 2+ -Activated K + Channels via Epigenetic Alteration at Gene Promoter in Male Offspring
24 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Objective: Antenatal exposure to glucocorticoids increases cardiovascular risks related to vascular dysfunctions in offspring, although underlying mechanisms are still unknown. As an important vascular mediator, high-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + channels (BK) plays an essential role in determining vascular tone. Long-term effects of antenatal glucocorticoids on BK in offspring are largely unknown. This study...
