Evidence exists that NO plays a role in the vasodilation that occurs during pregnancy. The
purpose of the present study was to determine whether the role of NO is associated with an …

The influence of pregnancy on the dilator effects of acetylcholine in the isolated human
uterine artery was investigated. Acetylcholine (0.1 nM to 0.1 microM) produced concentration- …

The responses to electrical field stimulation (EFS) of perivascular nerves in human uterine
arteries were characterized. The arteries were removed from pregnant and nonpregnant …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of fibroblasts of human origin is associated with a cascade
of cellular responses (rounding, “contraction,” ”relaxation,” and enlargement). Since in other …

The effect of the smooth-muscle relaxing agents, papaverine, sodium nitroprusside, and
verapamil, on the replication of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) was investigated. At a …

… Similar results have been reported by Steinsland and Hieble using a rabbit ear artery
preparation.8 From these and other data, it has been postulated that neuroleptic drugs may exert …
