Preventive effects of heregulin-beta1 on macrophage foam cell formation and atherosclerosis.

abstract：:Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels are responsible for maintaining endothelial membrane potential and play a key role in endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. In this study, we show that endothelial Kir channels are suppressed by hypercholesterolemic levels of lipoproteins in vitro and by serum hypercholesterolemia...
