Potentiation of smooth muscle contraction by adrenal steroids.
F Bhadrakom, 1 and Helmer have employed spirally cut strips of rabbit aorta in a bioassay method for estimation of urinary levels of catechol amines. In attempting to use this method for determination of adrenal venous plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine, the possibility arose that adrenal steroids might alter the contraction of rabbit aortic smooth muscle produced by these eatechol...
متن کاملPotentiation of acetylcholine-induced smooth muscle contraction in rat ileum by lead.
The aim of this study was to find out lead interaction on acetylcholine-induced ileal (0.8 "to 1" longitudinal total strips) contractions in varying calcium (Ca++) or magnesium (Mg++) media and the cholinergic mechanism. Potentiation of ileal strips by lead (Pb++) remained dose-dependent as elicited by acetylcholine-induced contractions (1.81 x 10(-6) M to 1.28 x 10(-4) M). These were completel...
متن کاملDynamics of smooth muscle contraction
Photolysis of caged calcium (Nitr5, Calbiochem®) can be used to studycalcium dependent processes such as excitation-contraction coupling andmuscular mechanics. Expensive high energy light sources are routinely used forUV light exposure; this study describes an alternative low cost Xenon flash unitconstmcted in our laboratOlY. A 300 J short arc Xenon flash lamp (Heimarl1l®)wa...
متن کاملConcentration, and Contraction of Arterial Smooth Muscle
Na-Ca exchange is proposed to be an important regulator of myoplasmic intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]|) and contraction in vascular smooth muscle. We investigated the role of Na-Ca exchange in regulating [Ca], in swine carotid arterial tissues that were loaded with aequorin to allow simultaneous measurement of [Ca], and force. Reversal of Na-Ca exchange, by reduction of extracellular Na co...
متن کاملContraction of detergent-treated smooth muscle.
After exposure of segments of rabbit taenia coli to the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, tension could be induced by increasing the [Ca2+] in the micromolar range. In the presence of a saturating [Ca2+], this preparation developed nearly 100% of the control tetanus tension recorded from the intact muscle prior to the detergent treatment. In addition, tension could be induced by increasing the [...
