Rapid minimization of energy consumption in excitable tissues is effective protection from lethal effects of extreme metabolic stress. The ATP-sensitive K⁺ channels in the brain respond in ATP-depleted metabolic states such as hypoxia and may be involved in the protection mechanism against energy-consuming generalized seizure.
