| Abstract | 1. The effect of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on sympathetic neuro-effector transmission was studied in the rabbit mesenteric artery. The experiments were performed on artery rings isolated 5 or 20 h after intravenous treatment with LPS or saline as well as on artery rings isolated from non-treated rabbits (for assessment of the effect of in vitro preincubation with LPS). In most experiments, neural elements in the arteries were stimulated electrically (10 V, 2 ms, 1-32 Hz). 2. Preincubation with LPS (10 micrograms ml-1) for 5 or 20 h had no effect on the contraction responses of endothelium-intact artery rings to electrical stimulation. In contrast, in vivo intravenous pretreatment with LPS (10 micrograms) led to an inhibition of the contraction; LPS elicited this effect when injected 20 h, but not 5 h, before the experiment. The effect of LPS was eliminated in artery rings isolated from animals receiving an inhibitor of protein synthesis (actinomycin D or cycloheximide) before treatment with LPS. LPS (injected 20 h before the experiment) had no effect on the concentration-response curves for exogenous noradrenaline and tyramine in endothelium-intact artery rings. 3. The inhibition of electrically induced contractions produced by LPS treatment in endothelium-intact artery rings was attenuated by atropine and yohimbine, but not by phentolamine. Yohimbine plus atropine restored the depressed contraction to the normal level. Clonidine and acetylcholine mimicked the effect of LPS in endothelium-intact artery rings isolated from saline-treated animals.(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.
