Effects of IGF-1 on IK and IK1 Channels via PI3K/Akt Signaling in Neonatal Cardiac Myocytes

Previous studies suggest that sarcolemmal potassium currents play important roles in cardiac hypertrophy. IGF-1 contributes to cardiac hypertrophy via activation of PI3K/Akt signaling. However, the relationships between IGF-1, PI3K/Akt signaling and sarcolemmal potassium currents remain unknown. The...
