background and aims: the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of carvacrol were reported. the aim of the current study was an investigation the relaxant effects of carvacrol on acetylcholine-induced contraction in isolated rat's ileum. materials and methods: in this study, the tissues separated from ileum were fixed on the organ bath containing tyrode's solution. the amplitude of...

background: the petal’s hydro‑alcoholic extract of rosa damascena mill. on ileum contractions of wistar rats and its possible mechanism were investigated. methods: forty‑eight male wistar rats were divided into six groups. ileum was placed adjacent to propranolol (1 μm), naloxone (1 μm) and l‑name (100 μm) and also under the influence of different doses (2-8 mm) of calcium chloride. results: cu...

introduction: thymol has negative ionotropic effect on heart and has direct effect on calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum. some of the herbal plants just like carum copticum consist of thymol. the postganglionic neurons of the gastrointestinal parasympathetic system are located mainly in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. stimulation of these parasympathetic nerves causes general in...

Previous observations from our laboratory have suggested that colonic filling from the ileum is characterised by a series of bolus movements. The present experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that bolus transit of ileal contents into the colon would not distinguish between solids and liquids. After a manometric infusion assembly was positioned by mouth into the ileum of 13 healthy vo...

BACKGROUND Uncontrolled and increased extracellular matrix degradation during early anastomotic repair in the intestine may reduce wound strength increasing the risk of anastomotic dehiscence. AIMS To characterise the metalloproteinases present in intact and anastomosed ileum and colon to study their role in matrix degradation after surgery. SUBJECTS Tissue extracts of uninjured, and of ana...

enterovesical fistula is an abnormal communication between the bladder and the intestine. the accurate localization of leakage is important for accurate treatment planning. some imaging techniques can not demonstrate the fistula; therefore, choosing the appropriate imaging technique is necessary. ct enterography (cte) is a new technique for evaluation of the small bowel and the entire abdomen. ...

inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (imt) is a rare neoplastic lesion with tendency toward local aggressive behavior and recurrence. the tumor most commonly occurs in the pulmonary system of children and young adult, although it may rarely develop in older patients and other organs. symptoms are non-specific and depend on the location of the tumor. the gastrointestinal tract is rarely the primar...

We investigated the ability of the muscarinic antagonist p-fluorohexahydrosiladifenidol to inhibit muscarinic agonist-induced contractions and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the guinea pig ileum and trachea. This antagonist displayed higher potency at blocking oxotremorine-M-induced contractions of the ileum compared with those of the trachea. When estimated using a simple model for competitive...

in order to investigate antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of pomegranate peel powder (ppp), this research was conducted as completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment using pomegranate peel powder (0 and 2 percent) and soybean oil (so, zero and six percent in growing period; zero and eight percent in finishing period). one hundred and sixty 11-day-old ross 308 broi...

1 This study examines b1-, b2and b3-adrenoceptor (AR)-mediated responses, mRNA levels and radioligand binding in ileum from b3-AR knock-out (7/7) (KO) and wild type (+/+) (FVB) mice. 2 In KO and FVB mice, SR59230A (100 nM) (b3-AR antagonist) antagonized responses to (7)isoprenaline in both KO and FVB mice. (7)-Isoprenaline mediated relaxation of ileum was antagonized weakly by ICI118551 (100 nM...
