Effect of Imperatorin on the Spontaneous Motor Activity of Rat Isolated Jejunum Strips

Table 1

The effect of DMSO (0.5%), imperatorin (75 μM), and verapamil (10 μM) on the spontaneous motoric activity of rat isolated jejunum specimens.

	Basal tone	AUC
DMSO (0.5%)	−0.45 ± 4.92	0.21 ± 4.16
Imperatorin (75 μM)	188.04 ± 50.54	181.43 ± 31.65
Imperatorin (100 μM)	208.41 ± 29.37	237.03 ± 45.41
Verapamil (10 μM)	179.62 ± 24.37	211.10 ± 41.17

The results are expressed as % of the relaxation caused by isoproterenol applied in the reference dose 0.1 μM. The relaxation provoked by isoproterenol in the reference dose is expressed as 100%. The results are expressed as mean from 6-7 independent experiments (±SD). versus Isop, versus DMSO, 0.5%, and versus verapamil.
