The role of steroid hormones in regulating vaginal smooth muscle contractility was investigated. Rabbits were kept intact or ovariectomized. After 2 weeks, animals were continuously infused with vehicle or supraphysiological levels of testosterone (100 lg/day), or estradiol (200 lg/day), for an addi

The effects of altering the availability of sodium ions (Na+) on contractility of the guinea-pig isolated trachealis was examined using regimens which are reported to inhibit Na+/K+ ATPase activity (ouabain), Na+/H+ exchange (amiloride, ammonium ion (NH4+)) or Na+/Ca2+ exchange (reduced extracellula
