Wood creosote inhibits calcium mobilization in Guinea pig colonic smooth muscle.
Wood creosote, a mixture of simple phenolic compounds, has long been used as an herbal antidiarrheal medicine. Previous studies have shown that wood creosote has antimotility activity on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, although its mechanism of action is not completely understood. The in vitro efficacy of wood creosote on calcium mobilization in guinea pig colonic smooth muscle was evaluated u...
متن کاملCalcium waves in intact guinea pig gallbladder smooth muscle cells.
Intracellular Ca(2+) waves and spontaneous transient depolarizations were investigated in gallbladder smooth muscle (GBSM) whole mount preparations with intact mucosal layer [full thickness (FT)] by laser confocal imaging of intracellular Ca(2+) and voltage recordings with microelectrodes, respectively. Spontaneous Ca(2+) waves arose most often near the center, but sometimes from the extremitie...
متن کاملCholesterol inhibits spontaneous action potentials and calcium currents in guinea pig gallbladder smooth muscle.
Elevated cholesterol decreases agonist-induced contractility and enhances stone formation in the gallbladder. The current study was conducted to determine if and how the electrical properties and ionic conductances of gallbladder smooth muscle are altered by elevated cholesterol. Cholesterol was delivered as a complex with cyclodextrin, and effects were evaluated with intracellular recordings f...
متن کاملRyanodine inhibits the release of calcium from intracellular stores in guinea pig aortic smooth muscle.
We have examined the effects of ryanodine, an inhibitor of the release of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium in cardiac muscle, on contractile tension and calcium-45 movement in aortic smooth muscle of guinea pigs to learn whether this agent also modifies the release of stored calcium in vascular smooth muscle. Ryanodine (3-100 microM) suppressed the phasic contractions induced by caffeine and nore...
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 ...
