New insights in the contribution of voltage-gated Na(v) channels to rat aorta contraction.

New insights in the contribution of voltage-gated Na(v) channels to rat aorta contraction.

BACKGROUND: Despite increasing evidence for the presence of voltage-gated Na(+) channels (Na(v)) isoforms and measurements of Na(v) channel currents with the patch-clamp technique in arterial myocytes, no information is available to date as to whether or not Na(v) channels play a functional role in...
