on both the cGMP pathway and calcium-activated K + (K Ca ) channels. Whether the vascular
effect of CO is altered in diabetes had been unknown. It was found that the CO-induced ... Cited by 31 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
- ►ebmonline.org R Wang, L Wu - Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2003 - SEBM The physiological importance of carbon monoxide (CO) on the regulation of vascular tone has
been generally acknowledged (1, 2). The vasorelaxation induced by CO could result from the
activation of the sGC/cGMP pathway and/or the opening of the big-conductance calcium- ... Cited by 18 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 3 versions
