Nerves and Hormones Interact to Control Gallbladder Function.
نویسنده
چکیده
Ganglia are the target of several regulatory inputs to the gallbladder. Hormonal cholecystokinin and sympathetic nerves can up- or downregulate neurotransmission in the gallbladder, respectively, by altering the rate of acetylcholine release from vagal preganglionic terminals. Peptides released from sensory axons act directly on gallbladder neurons to increase their excitability.

Subtypes of muscarinic receptors regulating gallbladder cholinergic contractions.
The aim of this study was to determine the functional role of muscarinic receptor subtypes regulating gallbladder cholinergic contractions. Electrical field stimulation (EFS; 16 Hz) produced contractile responses of guinea pig gallbladder muscle strips in vitro that were inhibited by 1 μM tetrodotoxin (2 ± 2% of control) and 1 μM atropine (1 ± 1% of control), indicating activation of intrinsic ...

متن کاملStudies on the intramural nerves of the hamster and mouse gallbladders.
We first carried out microscopic observation of the intramural nerves of hamster and mouse gallbladders which were fixed and stained with a solution of OsO4 and ZnI2. For this microscopic observation, the guinea-pig gallbladder was used as a control. We then investigated the relationship between the motility and intramural nerves of the isolated gallbladder in both the hamster and mouse. The fo...
متن کاملMelatonin: A therapeutic potential for the neurohormone in gallbladder disorders
In humans, N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin), a neurohormone widely found in plants and animal sources, is synthesized from serotonin primarily by the pineal gland. However, it it is also produced in a number of other areas, e.g. the gastrointestinal tract. Melatonin regulates various biological and physiologic body functions and its role in the regulation of circadian rhythms, particula...
