| Abstract | The morphological pattern and motor correlates of nitric oxide (NO) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) innervation in the human isolated gastric fundus was explored. By using the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH)-diaphorase and specific rabbit polyclonal NO-synthase (NOS) and VIP antisera, NOS- and VIP-containing varicose nerve fibres were identified throughout the muscle layer or wrapping ganglion cell bodies of the myenteric plexus. NOS-immunoreactive (IR) neural cell bodies were more abundant than those positive for VIP-IR. The majority of myenteric neurones containing VIP coexpressed NADPH-diaphorase. Electrical stimulation of fundus strips caused frequency-dependent NANC relaxations. N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG: 300 microM) enhanced the basal tone, abolished relaxations to 0.3 - 3 Hz (5 s) and those to 1 Hz (5 min), markedly reduced ( approximately 50%) those elicited by 10 - 50 Hz, and unmasked or potentiated excitatory cholinergic responses at frequencies > or =1 Hz. L-NOARG-resistant relaxations were virtually abolished by VIP (100 nM) desensitization at all frequencies. Relaxations to graded low mechanical distension (< or =1 g) were insensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX: 1 microM) and L-NOARG (300 microM), while those to higher distensions (2 g) were slightly inhibited by both agents to the same extent ( approximately 25%). In the human gastric fundus, NOS- and VIP immunoreactivities are colocalized in the majority of myenteric neurones. NO and VIP mediate electrically evoked relaxations: low frequency stimulation, irrespective of the duration, caused NO release only, whereas shortlasting stimulation at high frequencies induced NO and VIP release. Relaxations to graded mechanical distension were mostly due to passive viscoelastic properties, with a slight NO-mediated neurogenic component at 2 g distension. The difference between NO and VIP release suggests that in human fundus accommodation is initiated by NO. British Journal of Pharmacology (2000) 129, 12 - 20 |

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.
