Gut regulatory peptides, such as neuropeptides and incretins, play important roles in hunger, satiety and gastrointestinal motility, and possibly ...

Nitric oxide (NO), with close historical ties to cardiovascular physiology, is an important endogenous mediator, the most potent natural vasorelaxant known, involved in many biological functions . NO acts as an intra/intercellular signalling molecule and is a mediator in almost all organ systems . NO is known to occur in many cells types, including vascular endothelial cells, neurons, and epith...

Introduction: Recent studies showed that nitrergic system have specific modulatory effects on electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular (AV) node. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the electrophysiological properties of isolated rabbit AV node and to investigate the role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors in the mechanism of its action...
