Functional coupling of beta(3)-adrenoceptors and large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human uterine myocytes
(Endocrine Society, 2005-07-02)Context: beta(3)-Adrenoreceptor modulation in human myometrium during pregnancy is linked functionally to myometrial inhibition. Maxi-K+ channels (BKCa) play a significant role in modulating cell membrane potential and ... -
Rho A/Rho kinase: human umbilical artery mRNA expression in normal and pre eclamptic pregnancies and functional role in isoprostane-induced vasoconstriction
(Society for Reproduction and Fertility, 2006-07-01)Pre eclampsia represents a state of increased or prolonged vasoconstriction, partially linked to the potent vasocontractile effect of isoprostanes. The process of Rho A-mediated calcium sensitisation is inherent to a state ...
