초록

Nitric oxide (NO) has been reported to have many roles in vivo ranging from the neurotransmitter in brain to the relaxant in smooth muscles. Recently, using inside-out patches, Bolotina et al. (1) showed that relaxing effect of NO is aortic smooth muscle is through direct activation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels (maxi-K), resulting in hyperpolarization. (omitted)
