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 ...
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 peritonitis on gallbladder smooth muscle contractility in guinea pigs
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2004)
Background. The mechanisms involved in the impaired gallbladder contractile response in peritonitis are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peritonitis on the contraction and relaxation responses ...
Relaxation effects of adrenomedullin in isolated rabbit corpus cavernosum smooth muscle
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING LTD, 2004)
To clarify the pharmacological effects of adrenomedullin, a potent vasodilator and hypotensive peptide isolated from human phaeochromocytoma cells, on corpus cavernosal smooth muscle in vitro, as the intracavernosal injection ...
Interactive effect of sevoflurane with isradipine or inclomethacin on spontaneous contractile activity of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2004)
Volatile anesthetics, calcium antagonists and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit contractile activity of myometrial smooth muscle. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effect of sevoflurane ...
Comparison of effects of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on myometrial contraction and constriction of ductus arteriosus in rats
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2004)
The aim of this study was to compare the tocolytic effect of a selective cylooxygenase-2 inhibitor, DFU (5,5-dimethyl-3(3-fluorophenyl)4-(4-methylsulphonyl)phenyl-2(5H)-furanone), indomethacin and nimesulide on myometrial ...
