Effects of anti-asthma drugs and potassium channel openers on neurally-mediated contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea.

چکیده
The effects of anti-asthma drugs, isoproterenol, aminophylline and hydrocortisone, and potassium channel openers on the contraction induced by electrical stimulation or exogenously applied acetylcholine were investigated in isolated guinea pig trachea. Isoproterenol and aminophylline non-selectively inhibited both the contraction evoked by vagus nerve- and that by transmural field-stimulation, but had no effect on the response induced by exogenously applied acetylcholine. Hydrocortisone and potassium channel openers, NIP-121 and cromakalim, preferentially inhibited vagus nerve-mediated response. These results suggest that anti-asthma drugs may have an ability to inhibit neurally-mediated contraction in the guinea pig trachea.

Allergic responses reduce the relaxant effect of beta-agonists but not potassium channel openers in guinea-pig isolated trachea.
This study was conducted to determine whether the relaxant effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) openers on airway smooth muscle are reduced during the hyporesponsiveness of beta-adrenergic receptors. Isometric tension was measured and dose-response curves were constructed for levcromakalim (a KATP opener), Y-26763 (another KATP opener), isoprenaline and theo...
متن کاملPreventive effects of ipratropium and salbutamol against insulin induced tracheal smooth muscle contraction in guinea pig model
Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction.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. ...

Thiazolidinediones are commonly used anti-diabetic drugs. Owing to the anti-inflammatory action of TZDs as a result of there action on the PPAR gamma receptor and a proposed action on the prostaglandins, these drugs can be tried in the acute exacerbations of COPD that are also commonly found among diabetic patients. An experimental study of one week was carried out at animal house of Army Medic...
