Loss of KATP Channel Activity in Mouse FDB Leads to an Impairment in Energy Metabolism During Fatigue

Recently, it has been postulated that fatigue is a mechanism to protect the muscle fiber from deleterious ATP depletion and cell death. The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel is believed to play a major role in this mechanism. Under metabolic stress, the channels open, reducing membrane excitabi...
