| Abstract | 1. The mechanisms involved in the mechano-inhibitory effects of acetylcholine (ACh) have been compared with those of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and cromakalim on the rat isolated thoracic aorta. 2. Relaxations produced by ACh were endothelium-dependent, whereas those produced by SNP or cromakalim were endothelium-independent. 3. ACh, cromakalim and SNP relaxed established contractions produced by noradrenaline (NA) and KCl (20 mM) and these relaxations were well-maintained. 4. SNP was a relatively effective inhibitor of contractions produced by KCl (80 mM). ACh was relatively ineffective and cromakalim was without effect against such contractions. 5. Membrane potential and cyclic GMP concentrations were higher in tissues with an intact endothelium whereas rubbed tissues had a higher 86Rb efflux rate coefficient. 6. ACh and cromakalim produced a transient and long-lasting hyperpolarization, respectively. These changes were accompanied by increases in the 86Rb efflux rate coefficient with a time course comparable to that of the electrical changes. 7. Tissue cyclic GMP concentrations were significantly increased in the presence of ACh or SNP, whereas cromakalim had no effect. 8. Transmission electron microscopy showed the presence of endothelial cells on intact tissues. On rubbed preparations, such cells were absent and some damage to the underlying smooth muscle cells was detected. 9. It is concluded that at least two inhibitory substances are released from the endothelial cells by ACh. One of these increases tissue cyclic GMP concentrations and produces an electrically-silent relaxation. The other produces a transient hyperpolarization associated with the opening of 86Rb-permeable K-channels. This event may serve to initiate relaxation processes and to close any open voltage-dependent Ca-channels. |

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.
