NO and KATP channels underlie endotoxin-induced smooth muscle hyperpolarization in rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
1 Smooth muscle membrane potential and tension measurements were made in isolated mesenteric resistance arteries from rats exposed to bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS; 10 mg kg(-1), i.p.) for 3 h to mimic septic shock syndrome. 2 Over this period, rats developed an endotoxaemic response,...
