KEY POINTS: Inhibitory neuromuscular transmission (NMT) was compared in the internal anal sphincter (IAS) and rectum of the Cynomolgus monkey, an animal with high gene sequence identity to humans. Nitrergic NMT was present in both muscles while purin

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) mediates excitatory junction potentials through P2X receptors in many smooth muscles. However, relatively little is known about postjunctional intestinal P2X receptors. We examined the effect of exogenous ATP on circular

The internal anal sphincter (IAS) develops tone and is important for maintaining a high anal pressure while tone in the rectum is less. The mechanisms responsible for tone generation in the IAS are still uncertain. The present study addressed this qu

Intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-IM) have been shown to participate in nitrergic neuromuscular transmission (NMT) in various regions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but their role in the internal anal sphincter (IAS) is still uncert

1. Previous studies have shown that purified G protein alphas and betagamma subunits stimulate vascular L-type Ca2+ channels through protein kinase A and C (PKA and PKC), respectively. The present study tested whether activation of endogenous G prote

The characteristics of the Ca(2+) entry pathways that are activated by protein kinase C (PKC) in canine splenic artery were investigated. Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDB) contracted tissues and increased Ca(2+) influx. PDB-induced contraction was redu

1. The gastric adaptation reflex is activated by the release of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) inhibitory transmitters, including nitric oxide (NO) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). The role of NO in this reflex is not disputed, bu

Previous studies have suggested that delayed rectifier K+ (Kdr) channels contribute to the control of membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle. To explore this hypothesis further, we investigated the characteristics of Kdr channels in the negativ

Purinergic relaxation and hyperpolarization was investigated in the isolated guinea pig coronary artery (GPCA) and compared to purinergic relaxation in the rabbit coronary artery (RCA). Vessels were contracted with the histamine H1 receptor agonist 2
