The vasodilator effect of IRCM mimics the vasodilator effect seen upon small increase in extracellular K+. Under the experimental conditions employed in the present study, a considerable part of the IRCM-induced vasodilatation appears to be due to activation of Na+/K+-ATPase in the smooth muscle cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
