In their earlier methodological model studies the authors confirmed the protective effect of atropine in inhalative acetylcholine provocation. In the present work the role of parasympatholysis is investigated in histamine-induced bronchospasm by the method. It was found that a protective effect was exerted in histamine provocation repeated 20 minutes after subcutaneous administration of atropine sulphate in a dose of 0.01 mg/kg. The protective effect proved independent of the individual histamine sensitivities of the patients. The initial value of the CO2 curve prior to provocation was not improved.

Disruption of cholinesterases and, as a consequence, increased levels of acetylcholine lead to serious disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system, including death. The need for rapid administration of an antidote to restore esterase activity is critical, but practical implementation of this is often difficult. One promising solution may be the development of antidote delivery systems that will release the drug only when acetylcholine levels are elevated.

This study aimed to compare the inhibitory effect of flunixin meglumine and meloxicam on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract in male cattle. Tissue samples, including the abomasum, ileum, proximal loop and centripetal gyri of the ascending colon, were collected from routinely slaughtered male cattle. These samples were sectioned into strips and mounted in an isolated tissue bath system.

The vegetal alkaloid toxin veratridine (VTD) is a selective voltage-gated Na (Na) channel activator, widely used as a pharmacological tool in vascular physiology. We have previously shown that Na channels, expressed in arteries, contribute to vascular tone in mouse mesenteric arteries (MAs). Here, we aimed to better characterize the mechanisms of action of VTD using mouse cecocolic arteries (CAs), a model of resistance artery.
