Endothelin-1 induces neutrophil recruitment in adaptive inflammation via TNFα and CXCL1/CXCR2 in miceCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 90 Số 2 - Trang 187-199 - 2012

Endothelin mediates neutrophil recruitment during innate inflammation. Herein we
address whether endothelin-1 (ET-1) is involved in neutrophil recruitment in
adaptive inflammation in mice, and its mechanisms. Pharmacological treatments
were used to determine the role of endothelin in neutrophil recruitment to the
peritoneal cavity of mice challenged with antigen (ovalbumin) or ET-1. Levels of
ET-1... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of Ca2+release from heterogeneous Ca2+stores in sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from arterial and gastric smooth muscleCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 80 Số 6 - Trang 588-603 - 2002
Marguerite A. Stout, Luc Raeymaekers, Humbert De Smedt, R. Casteels
Ca2+transport was investigated in vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum
subfractionated from bovine main pulmonary artery and porcine gastric antrum
using digitonin binding and zonal density gradient centrifugation. Gradient
fractions recovered at 1533% sucrose were studied as the sarcoplasmic reticulum
component using Fluo-3 fluorescence or45Ca2+Millipore filtration. Thapsigargin
blocked active Ca2... hiện toàn bộ
Prolactin decreases expression of Runx2, osteoprotegerin, and RANKL in primary osteoblasts derived from tibiae of adult female ratsCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 86 Số 5 - Trang 240-248 - 2008

Hyperprolactinemia caused by physiological or pathological conditions, such as
those occurring during lactation and prolactinoma, respectively, results in
progressive osteopenia. The underlying mechanisms, however, are controversial.
Prolactin (PRL) may directly attenuate the functions of osteoblasts, since these
bone cells express PRL receptors. The present study therefore aimed to
investigate th... hiện toàn bộ
Actions of excitatory amino acids on mesencephalic trigeminal neuronsCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 76 Số 9 - Trang 900-908 - 1998
Kenneth A. Pelkey, Kenneth C. Marshall
Mesencephalic trigeminal (MeV) neurons are primary sensory neurons of which the
cell soma is located within the brainstem, and is associated with synaptic
contacts. In previous studies it has been reported that these cells are
resistant to kainic acid excitotoxicity, and have little or no responsiveness to
exogenously applied glutamate or selective agonists. In an in vitro slice
preparation with i... hiện toàn bộ
Canine colonic circular muscle generates action potentials without the pacemaker componentCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 72 Số 1 - Trang 70-81 - 1994
L W Liu, Jan D. Huizinga
Two dominant types of action potentials in canine colon are slow wave type
action potentials (slow waves) and spike-like action potentials (SLAPs). The
slow waves, originating at the submuscular surface where a network of
interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) is found, possess a pacemaker component.
Activation of the pacemaker component is insensitive to voltage changes and
L-type calcium channel blo... hiện toàn bộ
Excitability of canine colon circular muscle disconnected from the network of interstitial cells of CajalCanadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology - Tập 70 Số 2 - Trang 289-295 - 1992
L W Liu, E. E. Daniel, Jan D. Huizinga
The 6 cpm omnipresent slow waves recorded in the circular muscle (CM) layer of
canine colon are generated at the submucosal surface of the CM layer. After
removal of the submucosal network of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), 66% of
the CM preparations (25 of 38) were quiescent in Krebs solution. In the presence
of carbachol, seven of nine of these spontaneously quiescent CM preparations
