Vasorelaxant effects and its mechanisms of the rhizome of Acorus gramineus on isolated rat thoracic aorta by Jueon Lee, Sujin Shin, Junkyu Park, Ho-Young Choi, Kyungjin Lee

“…Since vasodilatory mechanisms associated with VSMC are predominantly influenced by K+ and Ca2+ channels, we explored various channels, including calcium-activated K+, voltage-dependent (delayed rectifier) K+, ATP-sensitive K+, inwardly rectifying K+, receptor-operated Ca2+ (ROCC), and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC). Selective blockers were used to examine K+ channels, which inhibited vasorelaxant effect of AGRE. …”
