The minimal parameters for eliciting contractile responses were 0.5Hz, 0.5msec, although the stimulation programme employed were 10Hz, 1msec. for 5 seconds at 120 seconds interval under a supramaximal voltage of 25V. This usually resulted in monophasic responses which were abolished by tetrodotoxin(TTX). Hexamethonium (5 x 10 -7 -5 x 10-5M) produced an inhition of ca 18.5 69% (n =6) on the amplitude of the electrically mediated twitches (EMTs). Adrenaline (Adr.) (5 x 10-8 5 x 10-6M), noradrenaline (NA) (8.5 x 10-7 8.5 x 10-5M) and isoprenaline (Isop) (1.3 x 10-6M) depressed the EMTs in the rat colon. Propranolol (10-8 10-6M) and phentolamine (1.34 x 10-7 1.34 x 10-5M) depressed the EMTs by ca 17- 38% and 7.5-15% respectively (n =7) and also potentiated the twitch-inhibiting action of theses catecholamines. Idazoxan (2.5 x 10-7 2.5 x 10-5M) inhibited the EMTs by ca 5- 50% (n =3). Tyramine (4 x 10-8M) profoundly inhibited the EMTs by ca 85%. Guanethidine (8 x 10-9 8 x 10-7M), however, produced a concentration dependent twitchaugmentation of the EMTs. Low doses of NA (5 x 10-8 - 4 x 10-7M) induced contractile responses which were partially reduced by phentolamine (5 x 10-7 - 2 x 10 -6M). High doses of adrenaline (10-6 8 x 10-6M), noradrenaline (10-6 8 x 10-6M) and isoprenaline (6.6 x 10-8 5.3 x 10-7M) relaxed the colon. These were partially reversed by propranolol (2 x 10-7M) and phentolamine (5.3 x 10-7M). Atropine (1.45 x 10-8 1.45 x 10-6M) partially reduced the EMTs by ca 10 50%, while physostigmine neither augmented the EMTs nor enhanced responses that were resistant to inhibition by atropine. Atropine abolished all contractile responses elicited by acethycholine, carbachol and nicotine. ATP (3.6 x 10-6 3 x 10-4M) induced inhibition of the EMTs by ca 5 90%. Low doses of ATP (1.2 x 10-7 9.6 x 10-7M) however contracted the colon. Thus, the functional autonomic transmission appears to be: a) entirely neurogenic; b) partially cholinergic and motor; c) in possession of weak inhibitory and excitatory α (α1 +α2) but inhibitory β adrenoceptors. Evidence for non-adrenergi c and noncholinergic (NANC) contribution is also presented and may involve, e.g. purinergic receptors, and the multiple tachykinin receptors 2020-01-08T09:30:37Z 2020-01-08T09:30:37Z 1985 Thesis https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/handle/123456789/5026 en application/pdf Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria |
