I am trying to block K_ATP dependent pathway for insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.
Is there any pharmaceutical agents to specific for the pathway?
Hi Chi,
Please read this review Climent, B.; Simonsen, U. y Rivera, L. 2014. Effects of obesity on vascular potassium channels. Curr. Vasc. Pharmacol. 12(3):438-52.
Best regardas
pinacidil and diazoxide are K(ATP) channel openers
