Nitric Oxide and Small and Intermediate Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels Mediate the Vasodilation Induced by Apigenin in the Resistance Vessels of Hypertensive Rats

Nitric Oxide and Small and Intermediate Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels Mediate the Vasodilation Induced by Apigenin in the Resistance Vessels of Hypertensive Rats

Background: Apigenin (4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavone), a flavonoid with potential cardiovascular benefits, has unclear mechanisms of action. This study investigates its effects on vascular function in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHRs). Methods: Mesenteric vascular beds (MVBs) were isolated from SHRs...
