Neurogenic Inflammation of Guinea-Pig Bladder
Mediators of Inflammation, 1994 Capsaicin, substance P, and ovalbumin, instilled into the bladders of naive and ovalbumin (OVA) sensitized guineapigs caused inflammation, as indicated by increased vascular permeability.

Notch2 and Notch3 function together to regulate vascular smooth muscle development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Notch signaling has been implicated in the regulation of smooth muscle differentiation, but the precise role of Notch receptors is ill defined. Although Notch3 receptor expression is high in smooth muscle, Notch3 mutant mice are viable and display only ...

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]
, 2007 This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Opiate Modulation of Gastrointestinal Motility and the Actions of Trimebutine
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1991 Trimebutine is an opiate ligand that interacts with the μ, σ and κ receptor subclasses with approximately equal affinity. Since opiate receptors are widely distributed in the gut, and because opiate receptor subtypes may be involved in excitatory or ...

Vascular smooth muscle Sirtuin-1 protects against aortic dissection during Angiotensin II-induced hypertension [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Sirtuin-1 (SirT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent deacetylase, is a key enzyme in the cellular response to metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative stresses; however, the role of endogenous SirT1 in the vasculature has not ...
