Differential expression of connexins during histogenesis of the chick retina
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2008)
Gap junction (GJ) channels couple adjacent cells, allowing transfer of second messengers, ions, and molecules up to 1 kDa. These channels are composed by a multigene family of integral membrane proteins called connexins ...
The effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins on atrial oxidative stress, nitrotyrosine residues, and connexins following extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
(Springer, 2017)
Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation is characterized by different degrees of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, which is often associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). We have previously shown ...
Voltage-dependent facilitation of Cx46 hemichannels
(2010)
Gap junction channels are formed by two hemichannels in series (one from each neighboring cell), which are in turn connexin hexamers. Under normal conditions, hemichannels at the plasma membrane are mostly closed but can ...
Melatonin receptor activation protects against low potassium‐induced ventricular fibrillation by preserving action potentials and connexin‐43 topology in isolated rat hearts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09)
Hypokalemia prolongs the QRS and QT intervals, deteriorates intercellular coupling, and increases the risk for arrhythmia. Melatonin preserves gap junctions and shortens action potential as potential antiarrhythmic mechanisms, ...
