o objective: many biological studies have been done to determine the activity of medicinal plants on gastrointestinal function. since acetylcholine is the major transmitter involved in the gastrointestinal motility and there are some evidences regarding the cholinergic modulatory effect of hops extract, in the present study spasmolytic and antispasmodic action of hops(humulus lupulus) on acetyl...

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...

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...

Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae) is used in the traditional medicine of Iran for the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The essential oil from the aerial parts of T polium was assessed for antispasmodic activity and compared with the effect of atropine and dicyclomine. Acetylcholine and KC I were used for induction of contraction on rat isolated ileum. Teucrium polium essen...
