The effects of Bay K 8644 on agonist-induced ileal contractions were investigated. Histamine, serotonin and a acetylcholine (10(-8)-10(-4) M) produced a dose-dependent contraction. Maximum contraction was obtained by 10(-5) M serotonin. Its value was 1076 mg. Bay K 8644 (10(-6) M) increased the potency of histamine and serotonin-induced ileal contractions, but acetylcholine induced responses were not increased. All responses of agonists were inhibited by nifedipine (10(-6) M). This inhibition was decreased with increasing acetylcholine concentrations. These results suggest that histamine and serotonin induced/mediated contractions in guinea-pig ileum are independent of calcium influx through voltage operated channels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D008297 Male Males
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments. Inotropism,Muscular Contraction,Contraction, Muscle,Contraction, Muscular,Contractions, Muscle,Contractions, Muscular,Inotropisms,Muscle Contractions,Muscular Contractions
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
