Abstract
In the rat gastric fundus, the reported cGMP-lowering agent LY 83583 (10(-5) M) inhibited the relaxation induced by nitric oxide (NO), without altering the response to isoprenaline, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, sodium nitroprusside or electrical field stimulation of inhibitory non-adrenergic non-cholinergic neurones, which are thought to release NO. Incubation with superoxide dismutase partially prevented the effect of LY 83583. When added during a relaxation maintained by continuous NO infusion, LY 83583 reversed the relaxation. It is concluded that LY 83583 inactivates exogenous NO through the generation of superoxide anions.Entities:
