Sentence examples for maximal contractile response from inspiring English sources
Galanin and ACh were equally effective in stimulating contractions of the isolated jejunal muscle: sigmoid curve fitting showed that maximal contractile response to galanin and ACh were 25.7±11.1 mN and 23.7±9.7 in humans, while 8.0±0.6 and 8.1±0.3 mN in rats, respectively.
The maximal contractile response was weak, reaching only 8.4±1.4% (n = 10) of the maximal response to ET-1.
These results suggested that the fraction of Na/K ATPase missing in ankyrin-B+/− cardiomyocytes accounts for ∼38% of the maximal contractile response to ouabain.
Contractile responses are expressed as percentage of the maximal contractile response to 10 µM NE in absence of pharmacological inhibitors (NEmax).
Thus, the vasorelaxing effects of TTX mirrored the enhancement induced by veratridine between 2 and 15 mmol/L KCl, with maximal inhibition observed at 6 8 mmol/L, once again corresponding to 20% of the maximal contractile response (Fig. 3C).
All values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Contractile responses were expressed as a percentage of the maximal response induced by 75 mM KCl. Relaxation responses to ACh or NPS were expressed as the percentage of relaxation of the maximal contractile response.
The resting tension was adjusted for each preparation investigated with a mobile micrometer stage (to allow incremental adjustments of muscle length) in order to obtain maximal contractile responses.
Neither pD2 nor maximal contractile responses were significantly affected by TRAM34.
The data range encompasses a baseline resting tension of fully relaxed arteries and maximal contractile responses, not necessarily the absolute maximum contractile response obtainable in these preparations.
After mounting, the segments were stretched to the diameter at which maximal contractile responses to 40 mM K+ (Kmax) were obtained (Table 5).
Following 1 h of incubation, optimal diameter was determined for each artery, at which the artery displayed maximal contractile responses to Krebs buffer with equimolar replacement of Na+ with 125 mM K+ (K-KRB) (19).
