Hydrogen Sulfide Relaxes Human Uterine Artery via Activating Smooth Muscle BK<sub>Ca</sub> Channels

Opening of large conductance calcium-activated and voltage-dependent potassium (BK<sub>Ca</sub>) channels hyperpolarizes plasma membranes of smooth muscle (SM) to cause vasodilation, underling a key mechanism for mediating uterine artery (UA) dilation in pregnancy. Hydrogen sulfide (H<...
