Vitamin D Receptor Deficiency Upregulates Pulmonary Artery Kv7 Channel Activity
Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D is involved in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of this study was to analyze the electrophysiological and contractile properties of pulmonary arteries (PAs) in vitamin D receptor knockout mice (<i>Vdr<sup>−</sup&...
