Role of BK potassium channels shaping action potentials and the associated [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in GH(3) rat anterior pituitary cells.

abstract：:Recent work has demonstrated that the brain has the capacity to synthesize impressive amounts of the gases nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). There is growing evidence that these gaseous molecules function as novel neural messengers in the brain. This article reviews the pertinent literature concerning the pu...
