Regulation of Coronary Arterial Large Conductance Ca2+-Activated K+ Channel Protein Expression and Function by n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Diabetic Rats

Conclusions: n-3 PUFAs protect the coronary BK channel function and coronary vasoreactivity in diabetic rats as a result of not only increasing BK- β1 protein expressions, but also decreasing coronary artery tension and coronary smooth muscle cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations.J Vasc Res 2017;54:329-343
