Methods: Single channel currents were studied on cell attached and inside out patches of enzymatically isolated mesenteric arteriolar smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). Membrane potentials of arteriolar strips and ASMCs were recorded by intracellular membrane potential recording method and confocal microscopy, respectively. Results: K ATP channels in ASMCs were activated, which induced smooth muscle hyperpolarization following vascular hyporeactivity in HS. Conclusions: Hyperpolarizing effect of K ATP channel activation plays an important role in low vasoreactivity during severe hemorrhagic shock.展开更多
