Changes in sensitivity of the rat stomach fundus to various drugs in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The changes in sensitivity of the rat stomach fundus to acetylcholine (ACh), norepinephrine (NE), isoproterenol (ISO) and to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) were examined in control rats and in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The dose-response curves for drugs were constructed 8 weeks after treatment with STZ. The dose-response curve for ACh in diabetic rats was shifted to the left as compared to the control curve, whereas the dose-response curves for NE, ISO and VIP were shifted to the right. These results suggest that functional changes in the autonomic nervous systems of the rat stomach fundus may occur in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Diabetes-related changes in contractile responses of stomach fundus to endothelin-1 in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
The contractile response of the stomach fundus to endothelin-1 (ET-1) was examined in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In STZ-diabetic rats (versus age-matched control rats) (a) ET-1 caused a longer-lasting contraction of stomach fundus strips, and (b) in the dose-response curve, the ET-1-induced contraction was significantly greater for a given concentration (3 x 10(-7) to 10(-7) M)...

Background: There is not any in vivo studies that shows inducing of euglycemia by vanadyl is independent from plasma insulin. Therefore in the present study we planned to investigate the antidiabetic effects of vanadyl in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Rats became severely diabetic by an IV injection of 50-55mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), 15 days after the injection, the blood glucose of ...

متن کاملOral Supplementation of ?-Carotene Significantly Ameliorates Testicular Oxidative Stress in the Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rat
Background Our recent findings have shown that the rat testis is subjected to significant oxidative stress during the early phase of diabetes induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). In the present study, we have investigated whether oral supplementation of β-carotene (BC) to pubertal rats would provide protection against diabetes associated oxidative stress in testis and liver.
