Caveolar disruption causes contraction of rat femoral arteries via reduced basal NO release and subsequent closure of BK(Ca) channels

Background and Purpose. Caveolae act as signalling hubs in endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Caveolar disruption by the membrane cholesterol depleting agent methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) has various functional effects on arteries including (i) impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation, and...
