"11 In contrast, the risk of LTE among men is attenuated after the onset of adolescence.7, 8, 9 The mechanisms underlying the influence of sex hormones on cardiac repolarization are complex and are not completely understood.Sex hormones have varying effects on I (Kv7.1) and I (Kv11.1) currents.14 Testosterone increases the potassium channel currents, resulting in a shorter QTc in both animal and human studies."

"Expert opinionFor reprint orders, please contact : ben.fisher@informa.comReviewCardiovascular & RenalThe hERG potassium channel as a therapeutic targetHarry J WitchelUniversity of Bristol, School of Medical Sciences, Department of Physiology, Bristol, BS8 1TD, UKThe hERG (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) potassium channel has elicited intense scientific interest due to its counter-intuitive kinetics and its association with arrhythmia and sudden death."

"This results in a large hERG-mediated tail current that is observed in the second partial depolarization phase to −50 mV.Aspidasept (Pep19-2.5) was applied at nominal concentrations of 1 µg/mL, 10 µg/mL, and 100 µg/mL, and remaining hERG mediated potassium channel currents normalized to initial currents were calculated."
