abstract：:Exposure of rat portal veins to an N2-gassed buffer markedly increased 86Rb outflow. Moreover, glucose caused a pronounced reduction in 86Rb outflow from portal veins perfused with an N2-gassed buffer. Pinacidil, cromakalim and diazoxide provoked a sustained increase in 86Rb outflow. The stimulatory effect of pinacidi...
