| Abstract | The nervous control of arterioles in the guinea-pig submucosal plexus was studied. Outside diameters of arterioles were recorded using a video-monitoring system. Changes in arteriolar diameter in response to electrical stimulation of single neurones or ganglia in the plexus were measured. 2. When the arteriole was pre-constricted with the prostaglandin analogue U46619 or with phenylephrine, electrical stimulation (2-20 Hz, 10 s) of a ganglion dilated the blood vessel. This vasodilatation was abolished by tetrodotoxin or by cutting the fine nerve strands running between the ganglion and the arteriole. 3. The vasodilatations caused by ganglionic stimulation were blocked by the muscarinic antagonists atropine, pirenzepine, (11[[2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl]-5,11-dihydro-6H- pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]benzodiazepine-6-)-one (AFDX-116), 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methyl-piperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) and hexahydrosilodifenidol (HSDF). IC50 values for the inhibition of nerve-evoked vasodilatation by pirenzepine, AFDX-116 and HSDF were 500 nM, 4 microM and 25 nM respectively. Physostigmine (1 microM) increased the dilatation by 90%. 4. Muscarine dilated all submucosal arterioles; the concentration causing half-maximum effects was 200 nM. Muscarinic vasodilatations were inhibited by pirenzepine, AFDX-116, and HSDF in a competitive manner; dissociation equilibrium constants determined by Schild analyses were 125 nM, 1.3 microM and 4 nM respectively. 5. Gossypol, an irreversible inhibitor of the production of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), did not reduce the vasodilatation produced by either ganglionic stimulation or muscarine in submucosal arterioles. 6. Intracellular recordings were made from submucosal neurones and action potentials were elicited by depolarizing current pulses (10 ms duration, 10 Hz/10 s). In seven neurones vasodilatation was associated with intracellularly evoked action potentials; this vasodilatation was blocked by pirenzepine. Cell bodies of reidentified vasodilator neurones were subsequently shown to contain immunoreactive choline acetyltransferase. 7. These results show that cholinergic neurones in the submucosal plexus project to submucosal arterioles and that they release acetylcholine onto muscarinic receptors to produce vasodilatation. The muscarinic receptor activated by nerve-released acetylcholine is the M3 subtype and its location appears to be on the vascular smooth muscle rather than the endothelium. |

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.
