چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The subtype and species related heterogeneity of beta adrenoceptors prompted a functional reappraisal of these molecular targets of motility inhibition in the human colon. METHODS Relaxation of muscle strips was measured in vitro. RESULTS The following agonists had decreasing relaxing potency (effective concentration range 10(-8)-10(-4) mol/l): (-)isoprenaline (non-selective), terbutaline (beta(2) selective), CGP 12177 (beta(3) selective, also beta(1), beta(2) antagonist), and SR 58611A (beta(3) selective). Isoprenaline and terbutaline were more potent on circular than taenia strips; CGP 12177 and SR 58611A weakly and partially relaxed taenia but had little effect on circular strips. The potency of isoprenaline on circular strips was greatly reduced by the beta(1) selective antagonist CGP 20712 (10(-7) mol/l), and less so by ICI 118551 (10(-7) mol/l, beta(2) selective). CGP 20712 and ICI 118551 together (both 3 x 10(-6) mol/l) had no effect on taenia relaxation by SR 58611A and rendered isoprenaline and terbutaline virtually inactive on circular strips, although not on taenia, which was relaxed at higher than control concentrations and maximally by isoprenaline. Propranolol, a beta(1), beta(2) non-selective antagonist, at high concentrations (10(-5) mol/l) prevented taenia relaxation by CGP 12177 and SR 58611A; its quantitative antagonism of isoprenaline (in common with that of CGP 12177 used as an antagonist) was competitive in circular strips but not on taenia. CONCLUSIONS beta(1), beta(2), and beta(3) adrenoceptors are functionally detectable in the human colon; agonist stimulation of any one type relaxed taenia but only isoprenaline was fully effective at the beta(3) subtype.

MUSCARINIC RECEPTOR SUBTYPES IN SMOOTH MUSCLE FROM THE BODY OF HUMAN STOMACH
Up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3 and M4). In our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. Isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. Acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and AHR -602 produced concen...

متن کاملModulation by GABA(B) and delta opioid receptors of neurally induced responses in isolated guinea-pig taenia coli and human colonic circular muscle.
The GABA-ergic and opioid modulation of neurally induced muscle responses was studied in isolated guinea-pig taenia coli and human colonic circular muscle, using identical field stimulation parameters (rectangular pulses of 0.5 ms duration, 9 V x cm(-1) intensity, trains of 3 pulses at 0.5 Hz, repeated every 1/3/5 min). The stimulation-induced contractions were inhibited in both preparations by...
متن کاملBeta-adrenoceptor-mediated responsiveness of human internal mammary artery
The internal mammary artery (IMA) is currently the preferred conduit for myocardial revascularization. However, pre-operative vasospasm and a hypoperfusion state during maximal exercise may limit its use as a bypass graft. The mechanism of spasm has not been clearly defined. Since β-adrenoceptor activation plays a major role in vasorelaxation, the present study was carried out to investigate th...

The actions of orand /8-adrenoceptor agonists, antagonists and ATP were investigated on the smooth muscle of the guinea-pig taenia coli. Electrical and mechanical activities were recorded by means of the sucrose gap method. Noradrenaline, phenylephrine and methoxamine hyperpolarized the smooth muscle membrane, decreased the membrane resistance, reduced the size of phasic contractions, decreased...
