Figure 3 Effect of PTX on antrum circular smooth muscle strips contraction to bethanechol (10-4 mol/L to 10-6 mol/L). PTX significantly inhibited the contractile activity of the smooth muscle (P ≤ 0.01; paired t-test) compared to control rats. Each point represents mean ± SE, n = 7; dotted bars represent control animals; solid bars-PTX-pretreated animals.
