Investigation of acute effects of aflatoxin on rat proximal and distal colon spontaneous contractions
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Aflatoxins are one of the most potent toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, cancerogenic, and immunosuppresive substances that naturally Occurring contaminants of food. There are some studies in various animal species that have ...
Effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors and H-2 Receptor Antagonists on the Ileum Motility
(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2011)
Objectives. To investigate the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H-2 receptor antagonists on ileum motility in rats with peritonitis and compare changes with control group rats. Methods. Peritonitis was induced ...
Comparison of In Vitro Effects of Opioid Analgesics on Spontaneous Proximal and Distal Colon Contractions in Healthy Rats and Rats with Peritonitis
(AVES, 2018)
Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of opioids on proximal and distal colon contractions in normal rats and rats with peritonitis, with and without the presence of naloxone in the ...
Investigation of the Cardiac Effects of Pancuronium, Rocuronium, Vecuronium, and Mivacurium on the Isolated Rat Atrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011)
BACKGROUND: Pancuronium, vecuronium, rocuronium, and mivacurium are nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents that affect the cardiovascular system with different potencies. Their cardiovascular effects are clinically ...
Effects of formoterol and BRL 37344 on human umbilical arteries in vitro in normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancy
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2007)
Alterations in vascular responses to beta-adrenoceptor agonists in normotensive pregnancy and pre-eclampsia are not fully understood. Thus, we studied changes in vasodilator responses to beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist ...
Investigation of the vasorelaxant effects of moxonidine and its relaxation mechanism on the human radial artery when used as a coronary bypass graft
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015)
In both low- and high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, the internal mammary artery is the first choice of arterial graft, and the second choice is the radial artery (RA). Unfortunately, RA spasms ...
Investigation of the role of the NO-cGMP pathway on YC-1 and DEA/NO effects on thoracic aorta smooth muscle responses in a rat preeclampsia model
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, NRC RESEARCH PRESS, 2013)
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of YC-1, a nitric oxide (NO)-independent soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator, and DEA/NO, a NO donor, on smooth muscle responses in the preeclampsia model ...
Rho-kinase inhibitors Y-27632 and fasudil prevent agonist-induced vasospasm in human radial artery
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, NRC RESEARCH PRESS, 2009)
Radial artery (RA) vasospasm remains a potential cause of early graft failure after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, despite pretreatment with alpha-adrenergic or calcium channel blockers. Our aim was to investigate ...
Do antibiotics contribute to postoperative ileus? Contractile responses of ileum smooth muscle in guinea pigs to long-term parenteral ceftriaxone and ampicillin
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2006)
Background: Antibiotics may impair small bowel smooth muscle contractility and contribute to postoperative ileus. The aim of this study was to compare the contractile responses of ileum smooth muscle to different agonists ...
Effects of NO/L-Arginine Pathway on Gallbladder Contractility in Bile Duct Ligated Guinea Pigs
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009)
Background. Common bile duct ligation (CBDL) produces gallbladder distension and acute inflammation similar to that seen in human acute acalculous cholecystitis. CBDL in the guinea pig affects smooth muscle contractility. ...
