چکیده

We have investigated the dependence of several anatomical parameters of the guinea-pig middle ear on body weight, and thus on age. In particular, the volumes of the tympanic and epitympanic cavities are found to increase with age, with the tympanic cavity growing somewhat more slowly. The mass of the incus appears to be independent of body weight. These results are important for establishing the values of parameters used in mathematical models of the middle ear. They are also relevant to theoretical considerations of the significance of middle-ear resonances.

The Role of Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandins in the Effect of Adenosine on Contractility, Heart Rate and Coronary Blood Flow in Guinea Pig Isolated Heart

It is a well-established fact that adenosine and its receptor subtypes (A 1 and A ) are involved in changes of contractility, heart rate and coronary blood flow (CBF) under different circumstances. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of nitric oxide and prostaglandins in development of these changes. For this purpose, Nitro-L-Arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and indomethacin as inhibit...

Effect of Matricaria chamomilla extract on the electrically stimulation of ileum of guinea-pig in invitro model

Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...
