Meanings of contractile response in English

Yet, the exact mechanisms regulating contractile response of smooth muscle remain unsolved.

The contractile response to neuropeptide Y, however, was markedly reduced in the diabetic group.

In the stimulated group, the area-under-the-curve of the EFS-induced contractile response was significantly increased.

The contractile response is variable and depends on actomyosin network architecture and biochemical composition.

The contractile response to Ca2+ was reduced and reversed by antioxidants.

Rates of contractile response were significantly different between controls and diabetics and between body and base.

Acetylcholine release and the contractile response stimulated by nicotine were partially reduced by a sympathetic nerve blocker, guanethidine.

The rate of contractile response was similar in controls and diabetics but was significantly different between body and base.

The conjunctiva was insensible and there was no contractile response of the pupil to the light of a candle.

Both gatanin and galanin 1-10 evoked a strong contractile response in rat jejunal longitudinal muscle.

Addition of galanin to guinea-pig taenia coli inhibited the contractile response to electrical stimulation, mediated by endogenous substance P and acetylcholine.

In this study, we have examined basic mechanisms underlying the contractile response of cerebral vessels to endothelin using in vitro pharmacology and electrophysiology.

This suggests that these alkaloids do not act at the intracellular level, unlike papaverine which inhibits the contractile response to caffeine and noradrenaline.

In vitro pharmacological studies showed that endothelin-1 and -2 elicited a significant contractile response of epicardial vein segments.

The acute administration of morphine did not modify the contractile response to ATP in the urinary bladders from untreated or chronically morphine treated mice.

Although not required in order for angiotensin to induce pericytes to contract, calcium entry via VDCCs serves to enhance the contractile response of these cells.
