Functional coupling of beta(3)-adrenoceptors and large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human uterine myocytes
Doheny, Helen C.; Lynch, Caoimhe M.; Smith, Terry; Morrison, John J. (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 ... -
Functional coupling of β3-adrenoceptors and large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human uterine myocytes
Doheny, Helen C.; Lynch, Caoimhe M.; Smith, Terry J.; Morrison, John J. (The Endocrine Society, 2005-10-01)Context: beta(3)-Adrenoreceptor modulation in human myometrium during pregnancy is linked functionally to myometrial inhibition. Maxi-K(+) channels (BK(Ca)) play a significant role in modulating cell membrane potential and ... -
Human chorionic gonadotrophin relaxation of human pregnant myometrium and activation of the bkcachannel
Doheny, Helen C.; Houlihan, Diarmaid D.; Ravikumar, Nandini; Smith, Terry J.; Morrison, John J. (The Endocrine Society, 2003-09-01)The uterorelaxant effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is regarded as an important mediator in maintenance of uterine quiescence during pregnancy with clinical potential for tocolysis, the mechanisms of which are ...
