Nitrergic and cholinergic vagal pathways involved in the regulation of canine proximal gastric tone: an in vivo study

Abstract

To better understand the relationship between cholinergic and nitrergic (NO) innervation in the regulation of proximal gastric (fundic) tone in vivo, the effects of nitric oxide synthase blockade on fundic tone were studied in conscious dogs using vagal cooling and an electronic barostat. Vagal cooling, atropine (0.05 mg kg-1 i. v. bolus) and hexamethonium (1 mg kg-1 i.v. bolus) all markedly decreased fundic tone as reflected by increased …
