Evidence for Y1-receptor-mediated facilitatory, modulatory cotransmission by NPY in the rat anococcygeus muscle.
The potential role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) as a neuromodulatory cotransmitter was investigated in rat anococcygeus muscle. The effects of NPY on contraction to norepinephrine or adrenergic nerve stimulation and on relaxation to nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerve stimulation were analyzed. Norepinephrine-induced contraction was enhanced by NPY (0.1 microM). The Y1 receptor antagonist BIBP 3226 ...
متن کاملEffects of phenylephrine on the contractile tension and cytosolic Ca2+ level in rat anococcygeus muscle.
A contractile property of phenylephrine (PE), alpha 1 agonist, on rat anococcygeus muscle was compared with that on rat aorta by simultaneously measuring changes in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) level and muscle tension. (1) PE (0.1-30 microM) and high K+ induced a sustained increases in [Ca2+]i level and muscle tension of both the muscles. (2) An application of verapamil (10 microM) and EGTA (4...
متن کاملHigh concentrations of KCl release noradrenaline from noradrenergic neurons in the rat anococcygeus muscle.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of high concentrations of KCl in releasing noradrenaline from sympathetic nerves and its actions on postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors. We measured the isotonic contractions induced by KCl in the isolated rat anococcygeus muscle under different experimental conditions. The contractile responses induced by KCl were inhibited by alpha-adre...
متن کاملNeuropeptide-induced contraction and relaxation of the mouse anococcygeus muscle.
Isometric tension responses to neuropeptides were recorded from anococcygeus muscles isolated from male mice. This smooth muscle tissue is innervated by inhibitory nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves that resemble, ultrastructurally, the peptidergic neurons of the gastrointestinal tract; the physiological function of the anococcygeus is not known. Slow sustained contractions were produced by o...
متن کاملPurine biosynthesis de novo in rat skeletal muscle.
Purine biosynthesis by the 'de novo' pathway was demonstrated in isolated rat extensor digitorum longus muscle with [1-14C]glycine, [3-14C]serine and sodium [14C]formate as nucleotide precursors. Evidence is presented which suggests that the source of glycine and serine for purine biosynthesis is extracellular rather than intracellular. The relative incorporation rates of the three precursors w...
