56. ATP-channel inhibition improves hemodynamics and cellular energetics in hemorrhagic shock. Am J Physiol 1997; 41:H688-H694. This is a very interesting paper because it shows glibenclamide to be remarkably effective at restoring and maintaining tissue perfusion to preshock levels when administered in the resuscitation fluid to pigs in severe haemorrhagic shock. Part of the improvement in blood flow was suggested to be related to an increase in cardiac index, probably resulting from venoconstriction. In addition, the authors found glibenclamide to increase renal ATP levels and restore acid/base balance. These are quite unexpected results because it would have been predicted that glibenclamide might actually compromise organ perfusion and cell metabolism by virtue of the fact that it caused overall vasoconstriction in shock animals. These are very encouraging results that warrant further investigation.

58. ATP-channel activators in pial arterioles. Even more interesting, it was observed that this effect of the inhibitors could be reversed by L-arginine. This led the authors to conclude that the activity of KATP channels may be influence by L-arginine binding. This has important consequences if such a phenomenon is widespread, not least because it means that caution needs to be exercised when attributing the effects of NO synthase inhibitors solely to inhibition of NO production.
