| Abstract | 1. The effects of nitric oxide (10(-6) M), N omega-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, 10(-4) M, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase), endothelium removal, hypoxia and selective alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists on responses to nerve electrical field-stimulation (EFS) were studied in the rabbit isolated pulmonary artery. 2. EFS induced frequency-dependent contractions which were abolished by prazosin (alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist) and unaffected by rauwolscine (alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist). EFS-induced responses were potentiated by L-NAME and inhibited by nitric oxide. The effect of L-NAME was reversed by the presence of L-arginine (2 x 10(-4) M), which had no effect on its own. In the presence of L-NAME, the EFS-induced responses were reduced by rauwolscine and the residual responses were abolished by prazosin. 3. Removal of the vascular endothelium increased the maximum contractile response to EFS but did not inhibit the ability of L-NAME to potentiate contractile responses to EFS. 4. Hypoxia inhibited the contractile response to EFS. This effect of hypoxia was also seen in the presence of L-NAME and in endothelium rubbed preparations. 5. In conclusion, the endothelium modulates EFS-induced contractions in the rabbit pulmonary artery. The contraction induced by EFS was inhibited by nitric oxide, but potentiated by the nitric oxide-synthase inhibitor, L-NAME. The effect of L-NAME was not mediated solely through the endothelium and revealed involvement of alpha 2-adrenoceptors in EFS-induced contraction. Hypoxia inhibited neurogenic responses in rabbit isolated pulmonary arteries. |

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.
