ATP-sensitive K(+) channels in the brain: sensors of hypoxic conditions

Katsuya Yamada et al. News Physiol Sci. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

Rapid minimization of energy consumption in excitable tissues is effective protection from lethal effects of extreme metabolic stress. The ATP-sensitive K(+) channels in the brain respond in ATP-depleted metabolic states such as hypoxia and may be involved in the protection mechanism against energy-consuming generalized seizure.
