Does activation of BKCa channels by nitric oxide prevent coronary artery endothelial dysfunction in ouabain-induced hypertensive rats?
Our results indicate that chronic ouabain treatment increases activation of BKCa currents by nitric oxide and this effect might contribute to preserve the endothelial function in coronary arteries in this hypertension model.
Whole gut washout with high-volume polyethylene glycol in pancreatitis reduced the blood levels of enzymes and increased the survival. Whole gut washout for acute pancreatitis appears effective to ameliorate the prognostic factors in blood and this modality may be a promising treatment method in acute pancreatitis.
