Essential oil from Cham. modulates nitric oxide pathway and calcium influx to exert a tocolytic effect in rat uterus.

The essential oil of (LM-OE) presents several pharmacological activities. This work evaluates the tocolytic effect of LM-OE on rats. LM-OE inhibited phasic contractions and relaxed tonic contractions on rat uterus.

Aortic Response to Strength Training and Dependent on Nitric Oxide and Antioxidants.

Studies have shown that supplementation with improves vascular reactivity. However, it is unclear whether in association with strength training this effect can be enhanced. Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of strength training and on the reactivity of the aorta from Wistar rat and the possible mechanisms involved.

(-)-α-Bisabolol attenuates visceral nociception and inflammation in mice.

The study examined the antiinflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the sesquiterpene (-)-α-bisabolol (BISA). The antiinflammatory effect was evaluated on acute models of dermatitis induced by Croton oil, arachidonic acid, phenol and capsaicin, respectively, in mouse ear. BISA inhibited the dermatitis induced by all noxious agents, except capsaicin.
