Nexuses between the smooth muscle cells of the guinea-pig ileum
The circular musculature of the guinea-pig ileum has been studied by freeze-fracture to analyze quantitatively the gap junctions (nexuses) between its smooth muscle cells. The average cell surface area and cell volume are 5,074 micron 2 and 3,260 micron 3. The packing density of nexuses is 48/1,000 micron 2 of cell surface or approximately 244/muscle cell. Nexuses range in area from less than 0...
متن کاملQuercetin inhibits anaphylactic contraction of guinea pig ileum smooth muscle.
Certain flavonoids inhibit antigen-induced release of histamine from mast cells and basophils and also inhibit contraction of guinea pig ileum induced by histamine, acetylcholine, and PGE2. We examined the effect of one flavonoid, quercetin, on anaphylactic smooth muscle contraction of ileum from guinea pigs sensitized to egg albumin. Quercetin inhibited both the phasic and tonic components of ...
متن کاملSmooth muscle relaxing drugs and guinea pig ileum.
The effects of various smooth muscle relaxing drugs on contractile responses to acetylcholine (ACh), Ba2+ and Ca2+, and on the tissue cyclic AMP levels were examined in the guinea pig ileum. Papaverine and theophylline caused a decrease both in the maximum height and the slope of dose-response curves induced by the three stimulants, and an increase in the cyclic AMP levels. Diltiazem and D-600 ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous contractile responses of single smooth muscle cells from guinea pig ileum.
Cells of guinea pig ileal longitudinal muscle layer were dispersed by treating the minced tissue with highly purified collagenase and papain. The cells were spindle shaped, 100 to 150 microns long and 5 to 10 microns wide. Contractility of the dispersed cells was determined by "cell adhesion method" resulting that the cells were contracted by carbachol in a dose-dependent manner, but sensitivit...
متن کاملThe Differences in the Relaxant Effects of Different Fractions of Rosa damascena on Guinea Pig Tracheal Smooth Muscle
Objective(s) In the present study, the differences in the relaxant effects of aqueous, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of Rosa damascena on tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pigs were examined. Materials and Methods The relaxant effects of three cumulative concentrations of each fraction (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g%) in comparison with saline and three cumulative concentrations of theophylline ...
