Pregnancy Upregulates Large-Conductance Ca(2+)-Activated K(+) Channel Activity and Attenuates Myogenic Tone in Uterine Arteries

Uterine vascular tone significantly decreases while uterine blood flow dramatically increases during pregnancy. However, the complete molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that increased BK(Ca) channel activity contributes to the decreased myogenic tone of uterine arteries in pregnanc...
