Pooled data (A) from 3 acutely dissociated MnPO neurons loaded with GTP-g-S show calcium current (peak component) plotted as percentage of control (average of first three responses) vs. time. NE evoked irreversible inhibition of calcium current. Inset in B represents net NE sensitive calcium current. Second NE application induced significantly smaller effect (C). (D) Time course of calcium current amplitudes before and during N-ethylmaleimide (NEM, 50µM) treatment. Individual traces from this neuron are shown in E with insets being net NE sensitive currents. (F) Pooled data from 6 neurons show significant attenuation of NE (30µM) induced inhibition of peak calcium currents caused by NEM.

Stimulus-response relationship defined previously to each pharmacological study. Two stimulus-response studies (to 25, 50, 75, and 100 gram of Uterine Cervical Distension [UCD] each) were averaged to define the individual > 75% maximum traction EMG response. A represents a printout of a typical EMG trace of one stimulus-response study, B the graph and analysis of all 112 studies (two stimulus-response studies per each single animal). Note: at the y-axis the raw, not the ? EMG activity is presented. Results are presented as median ± the 25th and 75th percentiles.

A represents a printout of a typical EMG trace of one cumulative dose response study. B: After two baseline UCDs (B1 and B2, averaged for later analyses and data presentation) saline was applied IV in a cumulative manner (numbers present ml) at 5-min intervals. After the final dose, naloxone (NLX), 1 mg/kg, was administered IV. Results are presented as line plots showing each individual rat (thin lines) plus the median (bold line).
