<b>NO- induced neuromuscular facilitation in the phrenic nerve diaphragm preparation of rats is Ca<sup>++</sup> dependent</b> - DOI: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v26i4.1528
Abstract
The research was carried out to verify whether the neuromuscular effects induced by nitric oxide (NO) might depend on extracellular level of Ca++. The donor of NO, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), and the analogue of cGMP, 8-Br-cGMP, increased the muscular contraction amplitude (MCA) in preparations indirectly stimulated at 0.2 Hz, but did not produce any effect when the nutrient solution was exchanged by Krebs buffer low Ca++/ high Mg++. SNP and 8-Br-cGMP reduced the MCA in preparations directly stimulated. Such effect was not recorded in Krebs buffer low Ca++/ high Mg++. Data suggest that the neuromuscular effects induced by NO or cGMP depend on extracellular level of Ca++Downloads
