Gastroduodenal Motility and Glandular Stomach Function in Young Ostriches
Gastroduodenal motility has been described in several avian species. In domestic turkeys (Melagridis gallapavo; Duke et al. 1972, Dziuk and Duke 1972), chickens (Gallus gallus; Roche et al. 1971), Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedorum; Levey and Duke 1993), and Leach's Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma leuchoroa; Duke et al. 1989), the sequence begins with contraction of the pair of thin muscles of the m...
متن کاملThe action of metoclopramide on human gastroduodenal motility.
The action of metoclopramide on gastroduodenal motility was studied in 23 subjects: eight symptomless volunteers and 15 patients with varying upper abdominal conditions. The response depended on the basal contraction pattern before the drug was given, irrespective of the clinical diagnosis. The size of the antral contractions was consistently increased and the duodenal contractions became more ...
متن کاملSildenafil inhibits hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effect of the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor sildenafil on the pulmonary vascular response to hypoxia in humans and mice. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, double-blind study, sildenafil 100 mg or placebo was given orally to 10 healthy volunteers 1 hour before breathing 11% O(2) for 30 minutes. Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was measured with an indwe...
متن کاملChronic sildenafil treatment inhibits monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats.
Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, is currently under investigation for therapy of pulmonary hypertension. This study was designed to investigate chronic effects of sildenafil in monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. Four weeks after a single subcutaneous injection of MCT, the animals displayed nearly threefold elevated pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resi...
متن کاملSildenafil Inhibits the Proliferation of Cultured Human Endothelial Cells
The proliferation of endothelial cells plays a crucial role in the development of intraplaque angiogenesis (IPA). IPA is a major source of intraplaque hemorrhage and therefore contributes to the destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine, whether sildenafil inhibits endothelial cell growth. The proliferation of human endothelial cells deri...
