The effects of irreversible alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists, SZL-49 (an alkylating analogue of prazosin), dibenamine and benextramine on contractions to noradrenaline (NA) in longitudinal and circular muscle of human epididymal vas deferens were investigated. Competitive alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists were also used to further characterize the alpha1-adrenoceptor subtype stimulated by NA in longitudinal and circular muscle. NA evoked concentration-dependent contractions of both muscle types (pD2; 5.

Adults of Rana catesbeiana maintained for 4 days in 12:12 light/dark regimen exhibited a rhythmic color change of 24 hr. Under constant light, however, the rhythm disappeared, and the reflectance values gradually became greater, that is the animals became lighter. Under constant darkness, the rhythm was also abolished, but the animals tended to a darker color.

The study was undertaken to characterize the effects of porcine galanin (pGal) and some of its analogues on rat gastric fundus muscle strips. pGal, galantide (M15) and pGal(1-14)-[Abu8]SCY-I evoked reproducible concentration-dependent contractions in concentrations of 1-300, 3-1,000 and 100-3,000 nM, respectively, with EC50 values of 13, 70 and 187 nM. Hill's coefficient for pGal is 1.
