High-cholesterol diet does not down-regulate BK protein surface presence on cerebral artery myocytes. (A) Representative images of isolated myocytes subjected to immunofluorescence staining against BK channel-forming α (red) and smooth muscle characteristic BK β1 (green) subunits. Averaged fluorescence intensity (in arbitrary units) of BK α (B) and BK β1 (C) subunit-associated signal in cerebral artery myocytes from rats on control (28 myocytes isolated from 4 separate rats) vs. high-cholesterol diet (25 myocytes isolated from 4 separate rats). *p<0.05, when compared to control diet.
