| Abstract | To investigate the vasorelaxant effect of total flavones from Dendranthema morifolium (Ramat.) Tzvel. cv. Hangju (FDM), tension was recorded from rat thoracic aortic rings. FDM completely relaxed, in a dose-dependent manner, the contractions induced by either phenylephrine (PE) or a high concentration of KCl (60 mM) in rings with intact endothelium. Mechanical removal of the endothelium did not significantly modify the vasorelaxant effect of FDM. In endothelium-denuded aortic rings depolarized by 60 mM KCl, FDM inhibited Ca/sup 2+/-induced contraction. FDM also reduced the transient contraction elicited by PE in Ca/sup 2+/-free medium, but had no effect on active phorbol ester-induced contraction. Pretreatment of endothelium-denuded aorta with propranolol, a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, significantly attenuated the relaxant effect of FDM. These results indicate that FDM induces an endothelium-independent relaxation in rat aortic rings. The mechanisms may include the activation of beta-adrenergic receptors, reduction in Ca/sup 2+/ influx through the voltage-dependent and receptor-operated channels, and inhibition of intracellular Ca release in vascular smooth muscle cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
