Investigation of the mechanism of nicotine induced relaxation in rabbit corpus cavernosum in vitro
(SPRINGER, 2004)
In order to determine whether nicotine acts on corporal smooth muscle, the mechanism of its effect on strips of rabbit corpus cavernosum was studied in vitro. Rabbit corpus cavernosum muscle strips were mounted in an organ ...
Relaxation induced by omeprazole does not change in diabetic rabbit corpus cavernosum
(WILEY, 2001)
Objective To investigate the changes in relaxation responses to omeprazole in corpus cavernosal strips from rabbits with diabetes induced by alloxan. Materials and methods Diabetes was induced in 10 New Zealand white ...
Enhancement of EFS-induced contractions, by agmatine, in guinea pig gallbladder smooth muscle strips
(SPRINGER TOKYO, 2005)
Background. Electrical field stimulation of gallbladder muscle strips produces frequency-dependent contractions by activating cholinergic nerves. The cholinergic motor function of the gallbladder and enteric system is also ...
Investigation of the mechanism of nicotine-induced relaxation on the sheep sphincter of Oddi
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, NRC RESEARCH PRESS, 2004)
Possible mechanisms for nicotine-induced relaxation were investigated in the isolated sheep's sphincter of Oddi. Sheep's sphincter of Oddi rings were mounted in tissue bath with modified Krebs-Henseleit solution and aerated ...
Effect of chronic renal failure on the purinergic responses of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle in rabbits
(WILEY, 2002)
Objective To examine purinergic relaxation responses in chronic renal failure (CRF) in an experimental rabbit model, and thus evaluate the possible involvement of the purinergic system in erectile dysfunction with CRF. ...
Hydrogen-potassium ATPase inhibitors induce relaxation on rabbit prostatic strips in vitro
(WILEY, 2002)
Background: To determine the relaxant effect of omeprazole and lansaprazole, hydrogen-potassium (H+ -K+ ) ATPase inhibitors, on rabbit prostatic tissue in vitro . Methods: Male New Zealand white rabbits were sacrificed and ...
Effect of hypothyroidism on the nitrergic relaxant responses of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle in rabbits
(WILEY, 2006)
Background: The incidence of hormonal dysfunction as a cause of impotence remains controversial. However, several recent studies have reported evidence of hormonal abnormalities in 25-35% of impotent men. Hypothyroidism ...
In vitro effects of intravenous anesthetics on the sphincter of Oddi strips of sheep
(KARGER, 2005)
Background: Intravenous anesthetics are often used for conscious sedation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincter of Oddi (SO) manometry. This study was designed to investigate the ...
Relaxation effects of adrenomedullin in carbachol-precontracted rabbit internal anal sphincter
(SPRINGER-VERLAG TOKYO, 2003)
Background The internal anal sphincter is a specialized continuation of the circular smooth muscle layer of the rectum. It has been found that internal anal sphincter tonus is significantly increased in the majority of ...
Comparative relaxant effects of YC-1 and DETA/NO on spontaneous contractions and the levels of cGMP of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2005)
This study was designed to compare the effects of YCA (3-(5-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole), a nitric oxide (NO)independent soluble guanylate cyclase activator, and diethylenetriamine-NONOate (DETA/NO), a NO ...
