Step 1
A class of medicines that function across cell membranes by inhibiting potassium efflux. The length of ACTION POTENTIALS is increased by the blocking of potassium channels. They are used as ANTI-ARRHYTHMIA AGENTS and VASODILATOR AGENTS.

This may be caused in part by exercise-induced expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is mostly white fat cells but can also contain brown fat cells in mice and humans. As part of a thermogenesis program, UCP1 directly reduces the proton gradient driving oxidative phosphorylation. UCP1 expression is a characteristic of brown fat cells only and is induced by the protein irisin. The data in Table 1 address the relationship between exercise and: • expression of UCP1 in subcutaneous fat cells, • expression of FNDC5 (a transmembrane protein in skeletal muscle plasma membranes), • blood levels of irisin (a soluble protein formed by cleaving the extracellular domain of FNDC5), and • expression of adiponectin (a hormone produced by white fat cells) in both wild-type mice and mice with overexpression skeletal muscle PGC-1a (a…arrow_forward
