Abstract:In the present study we have investigated the involvement of sensitized mice immunoglobulins and some electrophysiological alterations that participate to the antigenic sensitization-induced hyperreactivity of isolated mouse vas deferens. Active sensitization was performed by subcutaneous injection of egg albumen. Contractile responses to noradrenaline were isometrically recorded in the isolated vas deferens. Low external Na(+)-induced contractions and rapid cooling contractures were evaluated. Resting membran… Show more
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.
