1. We evaluated the mechanism of activation by AL0671, a novel potassium channel opener, of potassium current in rat aortic smooth muscle cells. 2. Under conditions of whole cell recording, AL0671 (1-1000 microM) markedly increased potassium current with a Hill coefficient of 2 and dissociation constant of 1.5 x 10(-4) M. This activation was completely inhibited by intracellular ATP. 3. Under inside-out patch conditions, the ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) treated with AL0671 (100 microM) showed prolongation of the slower open time component and shortening of the slower closed time component without modification of channel conductance.

D008297 Male Males
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
