research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
research Potassium Channel Therapeutics at the Bedside
Potassium channel openers are effective in treating heart conditions, high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, bladder issues, and hair loss, but more selective drugs are needed.
research Novel and Established Potassium Channel Openers Stimulate Hair Growth In Vitro: Implications for Their Modes of Action in Hair Follicles
Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.
research Rapid Determination of Minoxidil in Human Plasma Using Ion-Pair HPLC
Quick method to measure minoxidil in blood, accurate and useful for labs.
research Minoxidil: An Underused Vasodilator for Resistant or Severe Hypertension
Minoxidil effectively treats severe hypertension, but watch for side effects.
research Comparison of the Effects of the K+-Channel Openers Cromakalim and Minoxidil Sulphate on Vascular Smooth Muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research The Action of Diazoxide and Minoxidil Sulphate on Rat Blood Vessels: A Comparison with Cromakalim
Diazoxide, minoxidil sulphate, and cromakalim relax rat blood vessels by opening K+ channels, with some differences in their actions.
research Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetics of Minoxidil
Minoxidil treats high blood pressure and side effects can be managed.
