title: [Contribution to the study of the mechanism of action of potassium channel activators].
abstract: Radioisotopic studies have been performed on insulin secreting cells in order to characterize the mode of action of the "K+ channel openers". The study reveals that these pharmacologic agents interfere with the K(+)-ATP channels.
