Acute exercise inhibits gastric emptying of liquids in rats: influence of the NO-cGMP pathway

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
We previously found that acute exercise inhibited the gastric emptying of liquid in awake rats by causing an acid-base imbalance. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathway, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and corticotro...

Objective To report the effect of sublingual atropine sulfate to treat drooling in children with cerebra...

Atropine is more efficient than ZM241385 to reduce a drastic level of fade caused by cisatracurium at 50 Hz

Acta sci., Health sci; 38 (2), 2016
The effects of atropine (non selective muscarinic antagonist) and ZM241385 (A2A receptors antagonist) in the cisatracurium-induced drastic (100%) level of fade at 50 Hz (10 s) (100% Fade) were compared in the phrenic nerve-diaphragm muscle preparations of rats indirectly stimulated at a physiological tet...

Pharmacological study of the mechanisms involved in the vasodilator effect produced by the acute application of triiodothyronine to rat aortic rings
