The present study was conducted to examine the role of phospholipase A(2) and prostaglandins in Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus; MBT) venom-induced augmentation of cardiopulmonary reflexes elicited by phenyldiguanide (PDG). Trachea, femoral artery and jugular vein were cannulated in urethane
The aims of the present study were to investigate whether the activation of the 5-HT receptor subtypes (5-HT(4) and 5-HT(3)) acted significantly on the modification of the tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium current (I(NaR)) in small-sized rat trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and whether

Serotonin (5HT) has been shown to be a mitogenic factor in several carcinomas. Its mitogenic effect is elicited through a wide range of 5HT receptor subtypes. In this study, the effects of 5HT, 5HT3 (1-phenylbiguanide hydrochloride) and 5HT4 (cisapride) agonists
This study was performed to delineate the kinin (receptor)-dependent pathways in the Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus; MBT) venom-induced pulmonary oedema as well as the augmentation of cardio-pulmonary reflexes evoked by phenyldiguanide (PDG). In urethane-anaesthetized adult rats, the effect of
Sensitization of vagal lung C fibers has been postulated to contribute to the development of asthma, but support for this notion is still lacking. We investigated the characteristics and function of pulmonary C fibers (PCFs) in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized Brown Norway
