Effects of ginger extract on smooth muscle activity of sheep reticulum and rumen
Reticulorumen hypomotility leads to the impaired physiologic functions of the digestive tract. Prokinetic action of ginger has been demonstrated in the laboratory animals and human. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger on contraction and motility of reticulum and rumen of ruminants. Collected samples of reticulum and rumen from eight sheep were in...
متن کاملMicroRNAs Dynamically Remodel Gastrointestinal Smooth Muscle Cells
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) express a unique set of microRNAs (miRNAs) which regulate and maintain the differentiation state of SMCs. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of miRNAs during the development of gastrointestinal (GI) SMCs in a transgenic animal model. We generated SMC-specific Dicer null animals that express the reporter, green fluorescence protein, in a SMC-specific ma...
متن کاملSmooth muscle relaxant activity of Crocus sativus (saffron) and its constituents: possible mechanisms
Saffron, Crocus sativus L. (C. sativus) is rich in carotenoids and used in traditional medicine for treatment of various conditions such as coughs, stomach disorders, amenorrhea, asthma and cardiovascular disorders. These therapeutic effects of the plant are suggested to be due to its relaxant effect on smooth muscles. The effect of C. sativus and its constituents on different smooth muscles an...
متن کاملNitrergic relaxation of gastrointestinal smooth muscle: role of interstitial cells of Cajal and smooth muscle cells
Background The signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) is known to activate the enzyme NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NOGC). By generation of the intracellular second messenger cGMP NO-GC regulates many physiological processes. In the gastrointestinal (GI) tract nitrergic neurons are part of the enteric nervous system which regulates GI motility. In addition, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are ...
متن کاملThe Electrical Activity of Vascular Smooth Muscles.
岳中 典男 The electrophysiological investigation of vascular smooth muscles will permit a possible way of analyzing the mode of action of vasoactive substances. For an approach to the study the poten tial changes were recorded by means of external wick-Ag-AgC1 electrodes (1, 2). The rabbit or guinea pig aorta, dog renal artery and pig coronary artery were dissected and cut spirally. A strip prepara...
