The rat hepatic artery responds to acetylcholine (ACh) with an endothelium‐dependent relaxation, which is unaffected by nitric oxide (NO) synthase and cyclooxygenase inhibition. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the NO‐independent relaxation is caused by hyperpolarization of the smooth muscle cells. In vessels with endothelium ACh induced a hyperpolarization in the presence of 0

The effects of ω‐conotoxin GVIA (an inhibitor of N‐type voltage‐operated calcium channels; VOCCs) were compared on adrenergic, cholinergic and non‐adrenergic, non‐cholinergic (NANC) responses induced by electrical field stimulation (EFS) in the rabbit urethra and detrusor. EFS induced a relaxation in urethral smooth muscle and lamina propria precontracted by arginine vasopressin (AVP). The relaxat

The calcium antagonistic properties of (+)‐T‐cadinol, some of its stereoisomers and related terpenes were investigated in both functional and radioligand binding studies, and the effects were compared with those of the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (±)‐nimodipine. In the isolated rat aorta, the terpenes relaxed contractions induced by 60 mM K+ more potently than those induced by phenylephrine

Abstract: (+)‐T‐Cadinol is a sesquiterpene with smooth muscle relaxing properties. In the isolated rat aorta, T‐cadinol relaxed contractions induced by 60 mM K+ in a concentration‐dependent fashion. The dihydropyridine calcium antagonist nimodipine was approximately 4,000 times more potent than T‐cadinol. While both drugs nearly abolished the K+‐induced contractions, they only partially relaxed co

The smooth muscle relaxing effect of the sesquiterpene T‐cadinol, isolated from scented myrrh (resin of Commiphora guidottii Chiov., Burseraceae), was investigated. The compound inhibited the contractile responses in the isolated guinea‐pig ileum to histamine, carbachol, Ba2+ and K+ in a concentration dependent and reversible manner. The antagonism of the receptor‐mediated contractions induced by

1. 1. The effects of progresterone, corticosterone 21-acetate, chlormadinone acetate, dehydroepi-androsterone 3-sulfate and lysophosphatidylcholine were tested on 86Rb-uptake, 3H-5-HT-uptake, ADP-induced aggregation and 5-HT-induced shape change in human platelets. Ouabain and digoxin were used for reference. 2. 2. Ouabain and digoxin 10-5 M inhibited 86Rb-uptake by more than 85%, and chlormadinon

Cette étude propose une analyse de la proportion d’élèves suédois qui étudientle français au collège et présente une réflexion plus générale sur la situationde l’enseignement du français en Suède. À partir de données statistiques de labase de données SIRIS, mise à disposition publique par la Direction nationale desÉtablissements scolaires, les résultats montrent que, même si la proportion d’élèves

A review of Romeo and Juliet in a modern-dress promenade performance in Höganäs.

There are directions of interpretation with which some researchers may disagree. But it would be difficult for someone to point to rigidities, idiosyncracies or dangerous arguments. In fact, the demonstrations of Ion Pop meet the conditions for verifying the degree of science stated by an epistemologist such as Karl Popper. Any hypothesis has to be checked but also contradicted. Any theoretical en
