| Abstract | 1. The relaxant and spasmogenic effects of purines and analogues were studied in longitudinal strips of rat gastric fundus to characterize the purinoceptors involved. Classification was studied by use of agonist potency orders and of antagonists in circumstances where the influence of confounding factors was reduced. In general tone was raised by carbachol (0.1 microM). 2. Adenosine produced relaxation and was potentiated by nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBTI, 0.3 and 30 microM), an adenosine-uptake inhibitor. 8-Sulphophenyl-theophylline (8-SPT, 30 microM), a selective P1-purinoceptor antagonist, antagonized adenosine and 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), a selective agonist at P1-purinoceptors. 3. At resting tone, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) induced a small, phasic relaxation followed by a maintained spasm. When tone was raised by carbachol, ATP induced a larger relaxation followed by a smaller spasm. NBTI did not potentiate ATP, nor did 8-SPT antagonize ATP, suggesting that ATP does not act directly or indirectly at P1-purinoceptors. 4. With raised tone, and in the presence of indomethacin (10 microM) and 8-SPT (30 microM), 2-methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP) and ATP produced relaxations followed by spasms while alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP) induced only relaxation; all responses were concentration-dependent. The compounds had similar slopes and maxima for relaxation and spasm. The rank orders of potency were 2-MeSATP much greater than alpha,beta-MeATP greater than ATP for relaxation and 2-MeSATP much greater than ATP for spasm.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

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.
