Tungstate activates BK channels in a β subunit- and Mg2+-dependent manner: relevance for arterial vasodilatation.

abstract：AIMS:Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a multifunctional cytokine that contributes to pathogenic cardiac remodelling via mechanisms that involve oxidative stress. However, the direct impact of TGF-beta1 on contractile function of ventricular myocytes is incompletely understood. METHODS AND RESULTS:Reacti...
