Bovine parathyroid extract and two commercial preparations containing the first 34 amino acids of synthetic bovine parathyroid hormone [bPTH-(1-34)]produced dose-related hypotension in anesthetized rats. Dogs were 10 times more sensitive to the two bPTH-(1-34) preparations than were rats. Propranolol, phentolamine, atropine, and promethazine did not affect the hypotensive action of bPTH-(1-34) ...

reticulorumen hypomotility leads to the impaired physiologic functions of the digestive tract. prokinetic action of ginger has been demonstrated in the laboratory animals and human. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger on contraction and motility of reticulum and rumen of ruminants. collected samples of reticulum and rumen from eight sheep were in...

1. Effects of dopamine (DA) on contractile and electrical properties of decapod foregut neuromuscular preparations were examined. 2. Dopamine produced dramatic increases in nerve-evoked contractions and, in particular muscles, contractures and spontaneous contractions. These effects were observed at concentrations as low as 5 x io~~ M-DA. 3. The DA-produced enhancement of nerve-evoked contracti...

The philosophy of study of the mechanisms of EM-X action in the organism – taking into account the existing prerequisites – supposed, firstly, the assessment of antioxidant and immunocorrecting properties of EM-X, and EM-X effects on endocrine system, cellular composition of blood, nucleic-protein metabolism and to other processes in organism, and secondly – in order to assess the EM-X effect o...

Ten healthy controls, 9 Rheumatoid Arthritis patients and 5 cancer patients were studied for T and B cells in peripheral circulation. T cell count in cancer patients showed a slight enhancement after receiving Ayurvedic Treatment; but the B cell count remained the same. In Rheumatoid Arthritis patients no significant change was noticed either in T cell or cell count.
