bay-k-8644 and Insulin Sensitivity

bay-k-8644 has been researched along with Insulin Sensitivity in 1 studies

3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-4-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-, Methyl ester: A dihydropyridine derivative, which, in contrast to NIFEDIPINE, functions as a calcium channel agonist. The compound facilitates Ca2+ influx through partially activated voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, thereby causing vasoconstrictor and positive inotropic effects. It is used primarily as a research tool.
Bay-K-8644 : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-Bay-K-8644
methyl 2,6-dimethyl-5-nitro-4-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate : A pentasubstituted dihydropyridine carrying methoxycarbonyl, 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and nitro substituents at positions 3, 4 and 5 respectively as well as two methyl substituents at positions 2 and 6.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To investigate the role of hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance in vasomotor tone regulation, we studied the effects of vasoactive substances on tension and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of aortic smooth muscle derived from rats that were made hyperinsulinemic by insulin infusion and from Zucker obese rats with insulin resistance."1.29Augmented contractile function and abnormal Ca2+ handling in the aorta of Zucker obese rats with insulin resistance.
