Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to assess how specific beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists affect bowel motility following abdominal surgery in a rat model of postoperative ileus.
- Male rats underwent surgical procedures, and their bowel motility was measured by tracking the transit of Evans blue dye, with various adrenergic blockers administered beforehand.
- Results showed that propranolol improved bowel motility at certain doses, whereas other selective adrenergic antagonists did not have a significant effect, suggesting the benefit of propranolol may stem from its membrane-stabilizing properties rather than its receptor-blocking effects.
species are succulents with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties, as well as cytotoxic activity. One of the most popular species cultivated in Europe is Raym.-Hamet and H.

Aims: The aim of the paper was to find out if concomitant COVID-19 infections increase the frequency of specific side effects of statins such as muscle pain and muscle weakness.
Method: A total of 66 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 without comorbidities participated in the study.
Background: The purpose of this paper was to examine the effects of nicotinamide (ND) and L-arginine (L-ARG) on pulmonary vascular and heart changes induced by pulmonary hypertension in rats in a gender-dependent way.
Methods: Experiments were performed on male (M) and female (F) rats. PAH was induced via monocrotaline injection (sc, 60/kg B.
