From: Chronic hypoxia in pregnancy affected vascular tone of renal interlobar arteries in the offspring
The effect of prenatal hypoxia on calcium currents and K+ currents in renal vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of offspring.
(a, b): images of whole-cell calcium currents in absence or presence of nifedipine in both groups, (c, d): images of whole-cell potassium channel currents in the absence or presence of iberiotoxin (IBTX). (A) Calcium current traces recorded in renal VSMCs in the absence or presence of nifedipine (nife). *,P < 0.05; N = 3–6. (B) K+ current traces recorded in VSMCs in the absence or presence of iberiotoxin (IBTX). #,P < 0.05; N = 4–10.
