Administration of the KCa channel activator SKA-31 improves endothelial function in the aorta of atherosclerosis-prone mice

Administration of the KCa channel activator SKA-31 improves endothelial function in the aorta of atherosclerosis-prone mice

IntroductionAtherosclerosis remains a major risk factor for vascular dysfunction and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Pharmacological enhancement of endothelial Ca2+-activated K+ channel activity (i.e., KCa2.3 and KCa3.1) opposes vascular dysfunction associated with ageing and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in e...
