- 09:00Results: Kv7 Potassium Channel Function of Arterial Smooth Muscle using Patch Clamp Electrophysiology and Pressure Myography
- 10:33Conclusion
Measurements of Kv7 (KCNQ) potassium channel activity in isolated arterial myocytes (using patch clamp electrophysiological techniques) in parallel with measurements of constrictor/dilator responses (using pressure myography) can reveal important information about the roles of Kv7 channels in vascular smooth muscle physiology and pharmacology.
