Gabapentin inhibits excitatory synaptic transmission in the hyperalgesic spinal cordBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 130 Số 8 - Trang 1731-1734 - 2000
Manoj K. Patel, M I Gonzalez, S. Bramwell, R D Pinnock, K Lee
In the present study we tested the effects of the antihyperalgesic compound
gabapentin on dorsal horn neurones in adult spinal cord. Slices were taken from
control and hyperalgesic animals suffering from streptozocin‐induced diabetic
neuropathy. At concentrations up to 100 μM, bath application failed to affect
the resting membrane properties of dorsal horn neurones taken from both groups
of animal... hiện toàn bộ
Noradrenaline modulates smooth muscle activity of the isolated intravesical ureter of the pig through different types of adrenoceptorsBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 107 Số 4 - Trang 924-931 - 1992
Medardo Hernández, Dolores Prieto, Ulf Simonsen, Luis Rivera, María Victoria Barahona, Albino García‐Sacristán
We have studied the effects of α‐ and β‐adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on
both phasic peristaltic activity and basal tone of the isolated intravesical
ureter of the pig by means of isometric techniques in vitro. Spontaneous phasic
activity was exhibited by 21% of pig intravesical ureter preparations manifested
as rhythmic contractions with average frequency and amplitude of 2.54 ± 0.18

The importance of determining circadian parameters in pharmacological studiesBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 176 Số 16 - Trang 2827-2847 - 2019
Laetitia S. Gaspar, Ana Rita Álvaro, Sara Carmo‐Silva, A.F. Mendes, Angela Relόgio, Cláudia Cavadas
In mammals, most molecular and cellular processes show circadian changes,
leading to daily variations in physiology and ultimately in behaviour. Such
daily variations induce a temporal coordination of processes that is essential
to ensure homeostasis and health. Thus, it is of no surprise that
pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of many drugs are also subject
to circadian variations, p... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of the effect of nitroparacetamol and paracetamol on liver injuryBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 132 Số 1 - Trang 10-12 - 2001
L E Futter, O A Al‐Swayeh, Philip K. Moore
Paracetamol (5 mmol kg−1, i.p.) caused liver damage in rats as indicated by
increased plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase
(ALT) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities. No change in plasma
bilirubin or creatinine was noted. An equimolar dose of nitroparacetamol (a
nitric oxide (NO)‐releasing derivative of paracetamol) did not alter plasma
levels of any of the mar... hiện toàn bộ
Liver delivery of NO by NCX‐1000 protects against acute liver failure and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by APAP in mice THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN RETRACTEDBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 143 Số 1 - Trang 33-42 - 2004
Stefano Fiorucci, Elisabetta Antonelli, Eleonora Distrutti, Andrea Mencarelli, Silvana Farneti, Piero Del Soldato, Antonio Morelli
NCX‐1000, (3α, 5β, 7β)‐3,7‐dihydroxycholan‐24oic
acid[2‐methoxy‐4‐[3‐[4‐(nitroxy)butoxy]‐3‐oxo‐1‐propenyl]phenyl ester, is a
nitric oxide (NO)‐derivative of ursodeoxyxholic acid (UDCA) that selectively
release NO in the liver. Here, we demonstrated that administering mice with 40
μmol kg−1 NCX‐1000, but not UDCA, improves liver histopathology and reduces
mortality caused by 330 μmol kg−1 APAP from... hiện toàn bộ
Acetaminophen hepatotoxicity: NO to the rescueBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 143 Số 1 - Trang 1-2 - 2004
John L. Wallace
Severe liver injury as a result of overdose or chronic use of acetaminophen
(paracetamol) remains a significant clinical problem, accounting for as much as
40% of cases of acute liver failure. The mechanisms underlying the liver injury
caused by acetaminophen have become much better understood in recent years. In
this issue, Fiorucci et al. report that delivery of nitric oxide (NO) in small
amount... hiện toàn bộ
Doxycycline and its derivative, COL‐3, decrease dyskinesia induced by l‐DOPA in hemiparkinsonian ratsBritish Journal of Pharmacology - Tập 178 Số 13 - Trang 2595-2616 - 2021
Mariza Bortolanza, Glauce Crivelaro Nascimento, Rita Raisman‐Vozari, Elaine Del‐Bel
Background and Purposel‐DOPA‐induced dyskinesia is a debilitating effect of
treating Parkinson's disease with this drug. New therapeutic approaches that
prevent or attenuate this side effect are needed.Experimental ApproachWistar
adult male rats submitted to 6‐hydroxydopamine‐induced unilateral medial
forebrain bundle lesion were treated with l‐DOPA (p.o. 20 mg·kg−1 or s.c.
10 mg·kg−1) once a day ... hiện toàn bộ
