Effect of Various Receptor Blockers on the Action of Adenosine Triphosphate on Uterine Smooth Muscle Motility in Immature Pig

미성숙 돼지 자궁 평활근의 운동성에 대한 Adenosine Triphosphate의 작용에 있어서 수종의 Receptor 차단제의 영향

This study was carried out to investigate the action of ATP, which has been known as the neurotransmitter of noncholinergic- and nonadrenergic-nerve, on the motility of immature pig uterine smooth muscle. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The contraction and the contractile responses caused by ATP were increased in a dose-dependent manner between the concentration of ATP $10^{-6}M$ and $10^{-3}M$. The maximal contractile effect was appeared at the concentration of ATP $10^{-3}M$ and it was 70.2% of 100mM K contraction. 2. The contractile responses induced by ATP ($10^{-4}M$) were not blocked by the pretreatment with cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine ($10^{-6}M$). 3. The contractile responses induced by ATP ($10^{-4}M$) were not blocked by pretreatment with ${\alpha}$-adrenergic receptor blocker, phentolamine ($10^{-6}M$) and ${\beta}$-adrenergic receptor blocker, propranolol ($10^{-6}M$). 4. The contractile response induced by ATP ($10^{-4}M$) was not blocked by the pretreatment with $H_1-receptor$ blocker, pyrilamine ($10^{-6}M$) and $H_2-receptor$ blocker, cimetidine ($10^{-6}M$).
