Identification of β2-adrenoceptors on guinea pig alveolar macrophages using (-)-3-[125I]iodocyanopindolol [PDF]
The β-adrenoceptor antagonist (-)-3-[125I]iodocyanopindolol ([125I]ICYP) binds with high affinity and in a saturable way to membranes of guinea pig alveolar macrophages.

Monensin inhibits mast cell mediated airway contractions in human and guinea pig asthma models
Asthma is a common respiratory disease associated with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), airway inflammation and mast cell (MC) accumulation in the lung. Monensin, an ionophoric antibiotic, has been shown to induce apoptosis of human MCs. The aim of this

A key role for peroxynitrite-mediated inhibition of cardiac ERG (Kv11.1) K+ channels in carbon monoxide–induced proarrhythmic early afterdepolarizations [PDF]
Exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) causes early afterdepolarization arrhythmias. Previous studies in rats indicated arrhythmias arose due to augmentation of the late Na+ current.
