摘要
The K-ATP channels play a crucial role in regulation of vascular tone in conditions of hypoxia. Whether they contribute to peripheral blood flow regulation in human cutaneous microcirculation during a non-hypoxic state is the matter of conflicting in vivo studies that have used plethysmographic method. Our aim was therefore to elucidate the role of K-ATP channels in human skin microcirculation in three different conditions that evoke different interplays of vascular mechanisms; during resting conditions, during the postocclusive vasodilatation and in the vasoconstriction response to local cold exposure. The laser-Doppler (LD) skin response was monitored in 12 healthy volunteers on the skin of the fingertips of both hands at rest, after the release of an 8-min digital arteries occlusion, and during local cooling of one hand at 15 degrees C. We compared the direct (at the measuring site) and the indirect (at the contralateral non-cooled hand) LD flux response after intradermal microinjection of saline solution (1 mu l) and after a microinjection of the K-ATP channel blocker glibenclamide (8 mu M saturated solution) at the measuring site after obtaining the dose-dependent effect of glibenclamide. The effect of the saline solution was used as a reference value. There was a statistically significant lower resting LD flux after the microinjection of glibenclamide 273.6 +/- 36 PU when compared to the values obtained after the application of the saline solution 375.8 +/- 31 PU (paired t-test, p=0.016). Glibenclamide also significantly reduced the relative area under the LD flux curve during the PRH response 14551 +/- 2508 PU*s vs. 6402 +/- 1476 PU*s (paired mest, p=0.01) and increased the principal frequency of postocclusive PRH oscillations 0.0931 +/- 0.01 Hz vs. 0.1309 +/- 0.02 Hz (p=0.01). In addition, glibenclamide significantly decreased the LD flux during both the direct and indirect response to local cold exposure when compared to the application of saline solution (paired mest, p < 0.01). Our results support the conjecture that ATP sensitive K+ channels are importantly involved in blood flow regulation of human skin microcirculation in PRH response, in resting conditions as well as in microvascular local cold response.
