An improved <i>in vitro</i> bioassay for the study of 5‐HT<sub>4</sub> receptors in the human isolated large intestinal circular muscle
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Recently, it was demonstrated that 5-HT induces relaxation of human colon circular muscle through activation of 5-HT(4) receptors and 5-HT(7) receptors. The aim of the current study was to develop a new in vitro bioassay of human colon that would facilitate the pharmacological analysis of 5-HT responses mediated solely by 5-HT(4) receptors. Contracting circular muscle strips with KCl (80 mM) yielded a stable...
