Time-Induced Progressive Alteration of Kir Current in Cerebral Smooth Muscle Cells of Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

We investigated the involvement of potassium inward rectifier current (Kir) impairment in smooth muscle cells of cerebral arteries under the condition of increased susceptibility of stroke, in spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone (SHRsp) rats compared to spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) ones as w...
