Abstract:Absrraci:Hamster stomach strips or isolated rat colons were superfused by the effluent from isolated hamster or rat lungs, respectively. Cigarette smoke ventilation of the lungs caused a decrease in the contractile responses of hamster stomach strips to prostaglandin El and of rat colons to angiotensin 11, when Krebs buffer was used as perfusion medium. On rat colons, diluted blood was as effective carrier of the inhibitory compounds as was the buffer solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
