Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...

background: barberry (berberris vulgaris) is a well known medicinal plant in iran and has also been used as food. objective: this study was conducted to evaluate antihistaminic and anticholinergic activity of methanolic extract of barberry fruit. methods: methanolic extract was prepared and pharmacologically studied on isolated guinea- pig ileum, dose- response curves of histamine and acetylcho...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the use of goat ileum preparation for the estimation of unknown concentration of acetylcholine by three point bioassay. The graded doses of acetylcholine have shown dose dependent increase in contraction of isolated goat ileum. The responses obtained by this tissue preparation were similar to those with guinea pig ileum preparation. The goat ileum can ...

Two neurokinin B (NKB) analogs, [Gly6]-NKB [3-10] and [Arg3, D-Ala6]-NKB [3-10], were tested for agonistic activity as well as for their ability to antagonize the myotropic actions of NKB, neurokinin A, substance P, physalaemin and eledoisin in isolated guinea-pig ileum, guinea-pig urinary bladder, rat duodenum, rat vas deferens and rat portal vein. [Gly6]-NKB [3-10] in the guinea-pig ileum and...

MK-212 (1 x 10(-7)M -- 1 x 10(-5)M) produced dose-dependent contractions of guinea pig ileum, taenia coil and rat fundus strip. The responses to MK-212 in all three preparations were blocked competitively by cyproheptadine (1 x 10(-8)M) a 5-HT receptor antagonist. Mepyramine (1 x 10(-8)M)-H1 receptor antagonist also inhibited competitively the responses of guinea pig ileum and taenia coli to MK...

The effects of trifluoperazine and verapamil on bradykinin- and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin induced responses of isolated rat duodenum and guinea-pig ileum were investigated to elucidate post-bradykinin receptor events. Verapamil and trifluoperazine inhibited bradykinin induced relaxations and contractions and des-Arg(9)- bradykinin induced contractions in rat duodenum. Bradykinin induced contraction...

Muscarinic-receptor stimulation by 0.1 mM-carbachol in longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig ileum increases the incorporation of [3H]inositol into inositol-containing phospholipid. This effect was blocked by 16 microM-atropine. After 60 min incubation, carbachol increased the accumulation of total inositol phosphates 20-fold in the presence of 10 mM-Li+. Less than 20% of the total inositol pho...
