Cyclophosphamide Treatment Alters the Contractility of Isolated Rat Vas Deferens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Influence of cyclophosphamide treatment (40. mg/kg, ip on alternate days for 5 times) was assessed on 1 m mol BaCl2-induced in vitro rhythmic contractions in isolated rat vas deferens. The mean frequency (contractions per min) and amplitude (g tension) of rhythmic contractions were significantly decreased in the tissues isolated from cyclophosphamide-treated rats as compared to the control tissues. These findings indicate a decrease in the contractility and, therefore, functioning of rat vas deferens under cyclophosphamide therapy.

Rat vas deferens relaxation induced by Vitis vinifera leaf extract
The relaxatory effect of Vitis vinifera leaf extract on rat uterus has been reported and it was postulated that, the extract relaxed through the blockade of voltage dependent calcium channels. The extract also, relaxed rat aorta through NO and was dependent on the functional endothelium. In the present study, the effect of Vitis vinifera hydroalcoholic leaf extract (VHLE) on rat vas deferens pr...

Considering the clinical significance of opioids, especially their application for the treatment of severe painful conditions including cancer pain and the requirement for the synthesis of more specific drugs with lower side effects, this study was conducted to perform a preliminary investigation on six newly developed opioid drugs. Our aim was to introduce drugs that act selectively on the opi...

This study examined the effect of methanolic extract of Morinda citrifolia Linn. (MMC) and its bioactive principles, scopoletin and rutin, on dopamine- and noradrenaline-evoked contractility in isolated rat vas deferens preparations. MMC (1-40 mg/mL), scopoletin (1-200 μg/mL), and rutin hydrate (0.6-312.6 μg/mL) dose-dependently inhibited the contractility evoked by submaximal concentrations of...

Antidepressant therapy is considered as one of the factors leading to male infertility. In this study, the effects of long-term treatment with fluoxetine or venlafaxine were investigated on electrical field stimulation (EFS, 1-64 Hz), noradrenaline (10(-8) to 10(-4) M), serotonin (10(-8) to 10(-4) M), adenosine 5'-triphosphate [ATP (10(-8) to 10(-4) M)] and 80 mM KCl-induced contractile respons...
