Modulation by simvastatin of iberiotoxin-sensitive, Ca2+-activated K+ channels of porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells

Statins (3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors) have been demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular mortality. It is unclear how the expression level of HMG CoA reductase in cardiovascular tissues compares with that in cells derived from the liver. We hypothesized that this enzyme exists in different cardiovascular tissues, and simvastatin modulates the vascular iberiotoxin‐sensitive Ca2+‐activated K+ (BKCa) channels.

Kaempferol stimulates large conductance Ca2+‐activated K+ (BKCa) channels in human umbilical vein endothelial cells via a cAMP/PKA‐dependent pathway

Kaempferol has been shown to possess a vasodilator effect but its mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, experiments were carried out to study the effect of kaempferol on K+ channels in endothelial cells.
