Expression and function of K(ATP) channels in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes: possible role in glucose sensing

ATP-sensitive potassium [K(ATP)] channels sense intracellular ATP/ADP levels, being essential components of a glucose-sensing apparatus in various cells that couples glucose metabolism, intracellular ATP/ADP levels and membrane potential. These channels are present in human chondrocytes, but their s...
