Intracellular changes in the hepatocytes of isolated rat livers perfused with cyclic heptapeptide toxins are described. The toxins used are 1) -Ala-Leu- β-methyl isoAsp-Arg-ADDA-isoGlu-mdha (M.W. 944) from Microcystis aeruginosa- Lake Akersvatn, Norway; 2) -Ala-Arg-isoAsp-Arg-ADDA-isoGlu-mdha (M.W. 1023) from Oscillatoria agardhii var. - Lake Kolbatnvatn, Norway; 3) -Ala-Arg-isoAsp-Arg-ADDA-isoGlu-dha (M.W. 1009) from Oscillatoria agardhii var. isothrix - Lake Froylandsvatn, Norway. Approximate LD intraperitoneal mouse for the toxins is 50, 500 and 1000 μg/kg respectively.Livers were removed from male Sprague Dawley rats and perfused for 15 min with a blood-free perfusate (50 ml) followed by 60 min with perfusate containing i) 25, 50, or 200 μg of M. aeruginosa toxin ii) 50, 250, 500 or 1000 μg of O. agardhii var. toxin and iii) 1000, 2000, 2500 or 5000 μg of O. agardhii var. isothrix toxin. Control livers were perfused for 75 min with the blood-free perfusate.

SummaryRidogrel (6.3 × 10−6 to 10−4 M) inhibited contractions of isolated rat caudal arteries and rabbit femoral arteries caused by U-46619. The slope of an Arunlakshana-Schild plot (pA2-value: 3.4 × 10−6 M) on the caudal artery was slightly higher than one (1.14). This effect was maximal within}D min of incubation of the blood vessel with the compound and easily reversible. Ridogrel antagonised contractions of isolated rabbit femoral arteries caused by prostaglandin Fzo2α in the same concentration range. Ridogrel also inhibited contractions induced by aggregating rat platelets on isolated rat caudal arteries (itt the presence of ketanserin 4 × 10−7 M) and on isolated rabbit pulmonary and femoral arteries (in the absence of ketanserin). Ridogrel had no effect on Ca2+-induced contractions in depolarised isolated rabbit femoral arteries, and at 10−4 M antagonised serotonin-induced contractions in this blood vessel. Its effect on serotonin-induced contractions was statistically significant but very small on isolated rat caudal arteries. These observations indicate that ridogrel is an antagonist of prostaglandin endoperoxide/thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin F2α raCeptors on vascular smooth muscle.

ABSTRACT The effect of growth hormone (GH) in vitro on the rate of intracellular accumulation of the non-utilizable amino acid α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) was studied in the intact rat diaphragm preparation. Bovine or ovine GH (25 μg/ml incubation medium) markedly stimulated the accumulation of AIB-14C by diaphragms from hypophysectomized rats, while there was no or only a very slight effect on diaphragms from normal rats. In diaphragms from rats with the pituitary gland autotransplanted to the kidney capsule GH in vitro stimulated the accumulation of AIB-14C significantly more than in diaphragms from normal rats but significantly less than in diaphragms from hypophysectomized rats. Injections of GH intramuscularly for 4 days to hypophysectomized rats made the diaphragms from these rats less sensitive or completely insensitive to GH in vitro. These results indicate strongly that the relative insensitivity to GH in vitro of diaphragms from normal rats is due to the fact that the muscle tissues from these rats has been exposed to the endogenously secreted GH. The results show that GH can influence the accumulation of AIB-14C in the isolated rat diaphragm in two different ways giving an acute or »stimulatory« effect and a late or »inhibitory« effect, and that it seems to be a time-relationship between these two effects of the hormone.
