Characterisation of K+ channels in human fetoplacental vascular smooth muscle cells.

Characterisation of K+ channels in human fetoplacental vascular smooth muscle cells.

Adequate blood flow through placental chorionic plate resistance arteries (CPAs) is necessary for oxygen and nutrient transfer to the fetus and a successful pregnancy. In non-placental vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), K(+) channels regulate contraction, vascular tone and blood flow. Previous stu...
