Previous studies have indicated that Kv7 channels have an important role in the regulation of blood vessel reactivity, including in the coronary, renal, and cerebral arteries. The present studies examined whether Kv7 channels regulated vascular reactivity in the mouse aorta and investigated the mechanisms involved in the reactivity.
