Vascular hyperpolarization to β-adrenoceptor agonists evokes spreading dilatation in rat isolated mesenteric arteries.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: β-Adrenoceptor stimulation causes pronounced vasodilatation associated with smooth muscle hyperpolarization. Although the hyperpolarization is known to reflect K(ATP) channel activation, it is not known to what extent it contributes to vasodilatation. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: S...
