Phenotype-dependent functional and pharmacological properties of BK channels in skeletal muscle: Effects of microgravity

We investigated the involvement of calcium-activated potassium channel (BK) in skeletal muscle phenotype determination and response to acetazolamide, a BK opener. The BKs of slow-twitching soleus (SOL) and fast-twitching flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscles of the rat were investigated by patch-cla...
