Abstract:Background:
The goal of the current research was to further elucidate the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (K
ATP
) channels in the motility and contractility force of gastric smooth muscle of diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods:
Male Wistar rats (190–230 g) were grouped into control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes (55 mg/kg) rats. Thirty days later, gastric muscle contractility was measured using a myograph … Show more
