Muscularis mucosae contraction evokes colonic secretion via prostaglandin synthesis and nerve stimulation.
This in vitro study tested the hypothesis that muscularis mucosae contractile activity contributes to rabbit colonic mucosal function by mechanisms other than simple mechanical deformation of the epithelium. Experiments were performed by using a technique that allows simultaneous recording of muscle activity and transmucosal potential difference, a measure of epithelial ion transport. ATP, brad...
متن کاملIn vitro evidence that rabbit distal colonic muscularis mucosae has a Clostridium difficiletoxin A receptor.
In the rabbit ileum Clostridium difficile toxin A causes inflammation and mucosal damage via a specific glycoprotein receptor that contains α-d-galactose. In rabbit colon toxin A also causes inflammation, and this is associated with increased myoelectric activity and eicosanoid production. The present in vitro study was undertaken to determine if a toxin A receptor on one or more layers of colo...
متن کاملAdenosine A1 receptor antagonists at a fork in the road.
Up to one half of patients with chronic heart failure and two thirds of patients with acute heart failure have concomitant renal dysfunction—a clinicopathophysiologic association that has been termed the cardiorenal syndrome.1 When present, baseline renal impairment contributes to adverse outcomes in both ambulatory and hospital settings, and the attributable risk increases with progression of ...
متن کاملMuscularis mucosae - the forgotten sibling.
Lamina muscularis mucosae sitting beneath mucosal surface of the digestive tract has received little attention to date compared with external smooth muscle layers. Motor activity of the muscularis mucosae shows a great regional and species difference. Autonomic innervation profile is also different from esophagus to colon or between animal species. Intracellular transduction mechanisms for moto...
متن کاملModulation of epileptiform activity by adenosine A1 receptor-mediated mechanisms in the juvenile rat hippocampus.
The modulatory role played by purinergic mechanisms on the epileptiform discharges induced by 4-aminopyridine (4AP, 50 microM) in juvenile (10 to 25-day-old) rat hippocampal slices was studied with field potential recordings in the CA3 stratum radiatum. 4AP-induced activity consisted of interictal and ictal discharges along with isolated gamma-aminobutyric acid-mediated potentials. The adenosin...
