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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
YC-1, a nitric oxide-independent activator of soluble guanylate cyclase, inhibits the spontaneous contractions of isolated pregnant rat myometrium
(JAPANESE PHARMACOLOGICAL SOC, 2004)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of YC-1 (3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole) on spontaneous contractions and levels of cyclic GMP (cGMP) of myometrial strips isolated from pregnant rats. ...
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 ...
Effects of ceftriaxone sodium on in vitro gallbladder contractility in guinea pigs
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2004)
Background/Purpose. It has been reported that ceftriaxone may induce the formation of gallstones. Changes of gallbladder motility may play a role in this phenomenon. The present study was designed to analyze the gallbladder ...
