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 ...
Effect of endothelin-1 on spontaneous contractions and effects of nimodipine and isradipine on endothelin-1-induced contractions in myometrial strips isolated from normal pregnant and preeclamptic women
(MUNKSGAARD INT PUBL LTD, 1998)
Background. To examine the effect of endothelin-l (ET-1) on spontaneous contractile activity and the effects of nimodipine and isradipine on ET-l-induced contractile responses in myometrial strips isolated from normal ...
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 ...
Effects of nimodipine and isradipine on endothelin-1-induced contraction of pregnant rat myometrium
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 1998)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nimodipine and isradipine on endothelin-1-induced contractions of isolated pregnant rat myometrium. Endothelin-1 at 10(-10)-10(-8) M dose-dependently increased the ...
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 ...
Effects of endothelin-1 and calcium channel blockers on contractions in human myometrium - A study on myometrial strips from normal and diabetic pregnant women
(SCI PRINTERS & PUBL INC, 1999)
OBJECTIVE: We studied the effect of endothelin (ET)-1 on spontaneous contractions and the effects of nimodipine and isradipine on ET-l-induced contractions in myometrial tissue from normal and diabetic pregnant women. STUDY ...
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 ...
Changes in the nitric oxide system of rat myometrium during midgestation and delivery at term
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD, 1998)
The aims of this study were to investigate whether a nitric oxide (NO) system is present in the pregnant rat myometrium and whether it differentially inhibits myometrial contractility during midgestation and delivery at ...
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 ...
