| Abstract | 1. The nature of neurotransmitter(s) involved in non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) relaxations induced by electrical stimulation (10 s trains, 1-8 Hz) was investigated in the precontracted longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation of the rat ileum. 2. Electrical stimulation of the tissue induced complex responses, consisting of a primary contraction, a primary relaxation, an off-relaxation and a rebound contraction, which were all tetrodotoxin(TTX)-sensitive. 3. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and carbon monoxide (CO) did not induce relaxations. alpha-Chymotrypsin did not reduce the relaxations induced by electrical stimulation, while zinc protoporphyrin IX had non-specific effects. 4. Nitric oxide (NO) induced concentration-dependent relaxations. NG-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) abolished the primary contractions and off-relaxations, while it partially reduced the primary relaxations. 5. ATP induced relaxations and ATP-desensitization of the tissues partially reduced the primary relaxations. Suramin and reactive blue 2 did not consistently influence the primary relaxations. 6. The ATP-induced relaxations were not influenced by L-NAME or TTX. The inhibitory effect of ATP-desensitization and L-NAME did not summate. 7. The cyclic AMP content of the tissue did not increase upon electrical stimulation or after addition of NO or ATP. The cyclic GMP content of the tissue increased upon electrical stimulation and addition of NO, but not after addition of ATP. 8. It is concluded that the relaxation induced by electrical stimulation consists of two types of responses. The off-relaxation is completely nitrergic, while the primary relaxation is mediated by NO, ATP and an as yet unknown transmitter which is not VIP or CO. |

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.
