Abstract
A strip of fundus from a rat's stomach was suspended in Krebs solution containing 5-hydroxytryptamine. Movements of the muscle were recorded by means of a frontal writing lever giving a magnification of sixteen-times. The strip relaxed when isoprenaline, adrenaline or noradrenaline was added to the organ-bath in concentrations of 0.2 to 2 ng/ml. The preparation was most sensitive to isoprenaline and least sensitive to noradrenaline. The components of a mixture of two catechol amines could be assayed by superfusing the rat stomach and a chick rectum in the same stream of fluid.Entities:
