[Effect of ethanol and its metabolites on acetylcholine-sensitive K(+) channel Kir3.1 protein expression of neonatal rat primary atrial cardiomyocytes].

Abstract

Acute ethanol and acetaldehyde treatment could significantly upregulate the protein expression of acetylcholine-sensitive K(+) channel Kir3.1, this might serve as a potential mechanism for arrhythmia caused by acute alcoholic intoxication.
