Effect of magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine on contractions of myometrium: pregnant human and rat
(BLACKWELL MUNKSGAARD, 2002)
Background. Magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine are smooth muscle relaxants used for treating preterm labor. The aim of this study is to investigate the action profile of these drugs on the amplitude and frequency ...
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 ...
Chloride channel blockers 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid and anthracene-9-carboxylic acid inhibit contractions of pregnant rat myometrium in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2001)
OBJECTIVE: We compared in vitro relaxant effect of chloride channel modulators, such as 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB) and anthracene-9-carboxylate (9-AC), and beta (2)-adrenergic agonists, such as ...
Inhibitor effect of omeprazole in isolated human myometrial smooth muscle
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2001)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of omeprazole, an H+-K+-ATPase inhibitor, in myometrial smooth muscle strips from women undergoing elective caesarean section at term. Isolated myometrial strips ...
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 ...
Comparison of the effects of nimesulide and 5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methylsulphonyl) phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (DFU) on contractions of isolated pregnant human myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2004)
Objective: To compare the effects of 5,5-dimethyl-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-methylsulphonyl) phenyl-2(5H)-furanone (DFU) and nimesulide, selective COX-2 inhibitors, on the amplitude and frequency of KCI-, oxytocin-, and ...
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 ...
Altered contractile responsiveness in ileal longitudinal muscle after total gastrectomy in a rat model
(SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2004)
Purpose To test the hypothesis that the changes in ileal smooth muscle contractility accompanying postgastrectomy syndromes are agonist-specific, we investigated the effects of potassium chloride (KCl), carbachol, substance ...
Comparison of effects of formoterol and BRL 37344 on isolated term-pregnant rat myometrial strips in vitro
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2006)
This study was designed to compare the effects of beta-adrenoccptoy agonists formoterol and BRL 37344 on spontaneous contractions and the levels of cAMP and cGMP of myometrial strips isolated from timed-pregnant rats. ...
Effects of 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid, anthracene-9-carboxylate, and zaprinast on endothelin-1-induced contractions of pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCI IRELAND LTD, 2002)
Objective: The effects of 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid (NPPB), anthracene-9-carboxylate (9-AC) (chloride channel blockers) and zaprinast (an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5) on endothelin-1 (ET-1) induced ...
