pubmed:abstractText
Oxygen (O(2)) tension is a major regulator of blood flow in the coronary circulation. Hypoxia can produce vasodilation through activation of ATP regulated K(+) (K(ATP)) channels in the myocyte membrane, which leads to hyperpolarization and closure of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. However, there are other O(2)-sensitive mechanisms intrinsic to the vascular smooth muscle since hypoxia can relax vessels precontracted with high extracellular K(+), a condition that prevents hyperpolarization following opening of K(+) channels. The objective of the present study was to determine whether inhibition of Ca(2+) influx through voltage-dependent channels participates in the response of coronary myocytes to hypoxia.
