Bi-directional control of muscle energy expenditure by KATP channel complexes. Active sarcolemmal KATP channels constrain energy use and protect striated muscles during excessive energy demand. Downregulation of channel function results in increased mobilization of energy resources limiting body weight gain and increasing heat production.
