KATP channel activation induces ischemic preconditioning of the endothelium in humans in vivo.
BACKGROUND: Endothelial dysfunction contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and is reduced by ischemic preconditioning (IPC). IPC may involve activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP)). We determined whether modulation of K(ATP) channels occurs in endothelial IPC in humans. MET...
