1 The effect of tetraethylammonium (TEA) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on the inhibitory effect of guanethidine on noradrenaline (NA) release was investigated in the perfused spleen of the cat. 2 Guanethidine blocked the release of NA evoked by nerve stimulation. TEA and 4-AP readily reversed this inhibitory effect, and the NA output was nearly doubled after repeated stimulation of the nerves. On subsequent perfusion with Krebs solution without TEA or 4-AP, the inhibitory effect of guanethidine reappeared. 3 The reversal of guanethidine blockade of sympathetic nerves by TEA and 4-AP is discussed.

Introduction: Aberrant vascular function and cancer growth are closely related, with nitric oxide (NO) being a key factor in vascular tone regulation. This study provides Novel insights into the distinctive mechanisms underlying cancer-associated vascular dysfunction by investigating the involvement of potassium (K) channels in NO-mediated vasorelaxation within arteries supplying colon cancer.
Methods: Arterial segments from colon cancer patients were isolated and sectioned into rings, these rings were mounted in an organ bath filled with Krebs' solution and maintained at 37°C.
Carob leaves: Phytochemistry, antioxidant properties, vasorelaxant effect and mechanism of action.

Elevated blood pressure is the leading metabolic risk factor in attributable deaths, and hydrogen sulfide (HS) regulates vascular tone and blood pressure. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the mechanism by which NaHS (HS donor) produces inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow in obese rats. For that purpose, animals were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) (60% calories from fat) for 12 weeks.

The gram-negative toxin lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are known to trigger inflammatory cytokines in mammals, which can result in pathological responses. Upon treatment of bacterial sepsis with antibiotics, the lysing bacteria can present a surge in LPS, inducing a cytokine storm. However, LPS can also have direct cellular effects, including transient rapid hyperpolarizing of the membrane potential, blocking glutamate receptors and even promoting release of glutamate.

Methyl-eugenol (ME) and eugenol (EUG) are phenylpropanoids with vasodilatory effects. While EUG's vasorelaxant effect in human umbilical artery (HUA) is known, their action in veins is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate ME and EUG in human umbilical vein (HUV).
