[Effect of thyroliberin on contractility and electrical activity of isolated bovine lymphangions].

The role of regulatory peptides is the least explored part in the field of humoral regulation of lymphatics. In this paper we continue a systematic investigation of their effects on the lymphatic vessels of various animals. The effect of thyroliberin was studied on bovine mesenteric lymphatics.

[Contractions of the lymphangion under low filling conditions and the absence of stretching stimuli. The possibility of the sucking effect].

Regulation of the function of the lymphatic pump is tightly connected to the degree of filling of the lymphangion. This mechanism is one of the principle ways that the lymphatics self-regulate lymph transport. But interpretation of the causes and consequences of this regulation is still far from perfect.

[Effects of glucocorticoids on contractions and electric activity of lymphatic vessels].

Glucocorticoids were found to affect the membranes of lymphatic vessels' myocytes. Mechanisms of this action were studied.
