Presence of prejunctional D2-dopaminoceptors and α2-adrenoceptors on the cholinergic nerve of the common bile duct of guinea pig
On most adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals, prejunctional α-adrenoceptors belonging to the α2-subtype have been identified. Activation of these receptors will decrease the release of norepinephrine. It has been reported that several isolated tissue preparations contain prejunctional dopamine receptors, the stimulation of which inhibits neurotransmission. It has remained uncertain whethe...
متن کاملEffect of Sodium Valproate on Ouabain-Induced Arrhythmia in Isolated Guinea-Pig Atria
Sodium valproate (SV), an antiepileptic drug has several mechanism of action. It inhibits voltage sensitive Na+ channels and reduces intracellular Na accumulation. These actions are similar to that of both phenytoin and carbamazepine. We have investigated the direct cardiac action of SV and its effects on ouabain-induced arrhythmia in isolated guinea-pig atria. The guinea-pig atrium was dissect...
متن کاملHydro-ethanolic Extract of Portulaca oleracea Affects Beta-adrenoceptors of Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle
The stimulatory effect of the extract of Portulaca oleracea (P. olerace) on β-adrenoceptor of tracheal smooth muscle was examined. To examine β-adrenoceptor stimulatory effect, concentration response curve to isoprenaline was obtained in pre-contracted tracheal smooth muscle in the presence of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract, propranolol and saline. Values of EC50 (the effecti...
متن کاملSTIMULATORY EFFECT OF CARUM COPT/CUM ON β2 ADRENOCEPTORS OF ISOLATED GUINEA PIG TRACHEAL CHAINS
The β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of Carum copticum, 5 nM propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative Log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1...
متن کاملCalcium Flux and Contractility in Guinea Pig Atria
The calcium in guinea pig atria can be divided into three components by kinetic studies with Ca(45): (a) a rapidly exchangeable fraction with a half-time of 4.5 minutes; (b) a slowly exchangeable fraction with a half-time of 86 (or 168) minutes; and (c) an inexchangeable fraction. In Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 2.5 mM calcium, the calcium content of the tissue at rest remains constant, ...
