Influence of calcium removal from bath solution on isolated rat duodenum contractions.

چکیده
In this study whether extracellular Ca++ is essential to produce an increase of tension of isolated rat duodenum by ACh, 5-HT, AVP and KCl-, was examined. KCl- and AVP-evoked contractions were almost totally prevented by Ca++ removal from bath solution. The increase of tension of isolated duodenum caused by ACh or 5-HT was totally prevented after adding nifedipine, a Ca++ channel blocker, into Ca free solution. Our results suggest that ACh or 5-HT utilizes intracellular as well as extracellular sources of Ca++ to produce contraction in rat duodenum, whereas AVP-or KCl evoked contraction was mainly due to influx of Ca from extracellular sources.

The effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Peganum harmala seeds (EPS) on spontaneous rhythmic contractions of isolated rat uterine was investigated in this study. EPS was tested on the isolated uterus and endometrium free (i.e. stripped myometrium) preparations. EPS was found to exhibit significant spontaneous contractions of the uterus and stripped myometrium relative to the solv...

The relaxatory effect of Vitis vinifera leaf extract on rat uterus has been reported and it was postulated that, the extract relaxed through the blockade of voltage dependent calcium channels. The extract also, relaxed rat aorta through NO and was dependent on the functional endothelium. In the present study, the effect of Vitis vinifera hydroalcoholic leaf extract (VHLE) on rat vas deferens pr...

Introduction: Vitis vinifera (grape) is from Vitaceae family and many researches have performed on its seed but not on leaf. It has been reported that Vitis vinifera leaf extract induces relaxation in rat uterus, aorta, trachea and vas deferens precontracted by KCl. According to these reports, the inhibitory effects have been evoked through the voltage dependent calcium channels blockade. The a...
