Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone depends on PGF(2alpha) and thromboxane A(2) acting on receptors linked to G(i3) and G(q) to activate phospholipases and produce second messengers resulting in muscle contraction. We therefore examined PGF(2alpha) signal transduction in circular smooth muscle cells isolated by enzymatic digestion from cat esophagus (Eso) and LES. In Eso, PGF(2alpha)-induced ...
In this paper we prove a new version of Kransoselskii's fixed-point theorem under ($\psi, \theta, \varphi$)-weak contraction condition. The theoretical result is applied to the existence solution following fractional hybrid differential equation involving Riemann-Liouville and integral operators orders $0<\alpha<1$ $\beta>0:$ \begin{equation}\nonumber \left\{\begin{array}{ll} D^{\alpha}[x(t)-f(...
Placental ischemia during pregnancy is thought to release cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), which may contribute to the increased vascular resistance associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension. We have reported that a chronic twofold elevation in plasma TNF-alpha increases blood pressure in pregnant but not in virgin rats; however, the vascular mechanisms are unclea...
The Ca(2+) channel alpha(1S) subunit (Ca(V)1.1) is the voltage sensor in skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. Upon membrane depolarization, this sensor rapidly triggers Ca(2+) release from internal stores and conducts a slowly activating Ca(2+) current. However, this Ca(2+) current is not essential for skeletal muscle EC coupling. Here, we identified a Ca(V)1.1 splice variant w...
Little is known regarding specific biologic and pharmacologic differences between human internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins. To better define the role of alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstriction in human internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins, we obtained fresh specimens of both vessels from 32 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Dose-response curves were ge...
Pulmonary arteries exhibit a marked vasoconstriction when exposed to hypoxic conditions. Although this may be an adaptive response to match lung ventilation with perfusion, the potential consequences of sustained pulmonary vasoconstriction include pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. Concomitant production of proinflammatory mediators during hypoxia may exacerbate acute increases in ...
INTRODUCTION This article sets out to be a review regarding agents that affect contraction and relaxation of the ureter in order to establish a basis for current and future treatments for upper urinary tract obstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A complete review of the English literature using MEDLINE was performed between 1960 and 2007 on ureter physiology and pharmacology with special emphasis...
Synchronization between the firing times of simultaneously active motor units (MUs) is generally assumed to increase during fatiguing contractions. To date, however, estimates of MU synchronization have relied on indirect measures, derived from surface electromyographic (EMG) interference signals. This study used intramuscular coherence to investigate the correlation between MU discharges in th...
To approach experimentally the problem of contractility, stellate cells from rats were isolated and grown on a flexible silicone rubber substrate. Increases or decreases in the number of wrinkles of the silicone membrane beneath the cells that were easily observable by microscopy was employed as semi-quantitative measure of stellate cell motility. Contraction of stellate cells accompanied by di...
INTRODUCTION Previous studies have shown that the number of myoblastically differentiated fibroblasts known as myofibroblasts (MFs) is significantly increased in stiff joint capsules, indicating their crucial role in the pathogenesis of post-traumatic joint stiffness. Although the mode of MFs' function has been well defined for different diseases associated with tissue fibrosis, the underlying ...
