Ischemia occurs when a tissue receives insufficient oxygen to meet its metabolic demands, leading to metabolic imbalance, pain, and tissue damage. A longstanding paradox has been how acid‑sensing ion channels function effectively within the complex ischemic environment. The work presented in this dissertation addresses this question and describes the discovery of a synergistic interaction between extracellular acidity and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in modulating ion channel activity. 000002816 540__ $$fCC BY 000002816 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002816 650__ $$aIschemia$$021046 000002816 650__ $$aSodium Channels$$028231 000002816 650__ $$aAcid Sensing Ion Channels$$040087 000002816 650__ $$aReceptors, Purinergic P2$$030459 000002816 6531_ $$aion sodium gating 000002816 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002816 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000002816 7001_ $$aBirdsong, William$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002816 8564_ $$9a4197dec-09d7-4df1-ab56-5744b37227e7$$s12911101$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2816/files/3584_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2519665e69a30c85c84668de0d5ed53c5$$31 000002816 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
