ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Currents in Eccentrically Hypertrophied Cardiac Myocytes of Volume-Overloaded Rats

ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) protect the myocardium from hypertrophy induced by pressure-overloading. In this study, we determined the effects of these channels in volume-overloading. We compared the effects of a KATP agonist and a KATP antagonist on sarcolemmal transmembrane current dens...
