Excerpt

The fetal patency and neonatal closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) are regulated with oxygen and prostaglandins. The proposed oxygen sensors of fetal and neonatal DA include P450-endothelin and the Kv channel [1]. We hypothesized that the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) is another oxygen sensor [2].
