Previous studies in our laboratory and others suggested that activation of 5-HT2 receptors mediates 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced contraction of airway smooth muscle and that this response is dependent in part on endogenous acetylcholine (ACh). The purpose of the present study was to confirm a

The effects of the hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts of Salix taxifolia were studied on Wistar rat ileum. The chloroform extract produced a relaxation of the smooth muscle. At doses of 2.5 mg/mL it produced a relaxing effect of 10.35% and 31.9% at 1 and 2 min after its administration. Hexane
The inhibitory effect of quercetin on the guinea-pig ileum contractile responses was examined to further clarify its mechanism of action. Quercetin inhibited, from doses of 5 VM, the spontaneous phasic contractions of the guinea-pig ileum, as well as the phasic and tonic components of either acetylc
The present study examines the effects of the extracts [petroleum ether, CHCl 3 , CHCl 3 MeOH (9:1) and MeOH], partially purified fractions and pure compounds from Croton menthodorus on the electrically induced contractions of the isolated guinea-pig ileum (ECI). The results of the experiments indi
