Effects of tartrazine of different contractile stimuli in guinea pig tracheal muscle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheal smooth muscle obtained from ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs contracted with micromolar concentrations of tartrazine and indomethacin. The contractions were slightly reduced by clemastine, but were completely blocked by the SRS-A antagonist FPL 55712. Arylsulfatase B, which is an enzyme that inactivates SRS-A, also abolished the contractions induced by tartrazine. Contractions induced by carbacholine, histamine, egg albumin and arachidonic acid were slightly reduced by indomethacin and tartrazine. Tartrazine like indomethacin inhibited the generation of thromboxanes from human platelets. We suggest that SRS-A plays an important role in the immediate hypersensitivity reactions of tartrazine and indomethacin in guinea pig trachea.

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and ipratropium against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pig. ...

The effects of tartrazine on the synthesis of prostaglandin-like substances (PGLS) from arachidonic acid in isolated perfused guinea pig lung, and on the contractile responses of guinea pig tracheal tissues induced by histamine, acetylcholine, bradykinin, serotonin and prostaglandin F2 alpha were studied. The synthesis of PGLS from arachidonic acid was not inhibited by tartrazine. The contracti...
