Connexin channel-dependent signaling pathways in inflammation.

abstract：:The effect of insulin on the vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine is presently controversial. Therefore, the aims of our study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of low- and high-dose insulin on the concentration-response curve to norepinephrine in small resistance arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)...
