Potentiation of contractile response and increase in tissue sodium content induced by aconitine in the guinea-pig vas deferens
Abstract
Aconitine potentiated the contractile response of the guinea-pig vas deferens and increased the tissue Na and Ca content. These effects were abolished in the presence of tetrodotoxin. These results suggest that aconitine causes an increasing Na+ permeability of the smooth muscle membrane to increase Ca2+ availability and thus induces potentiation.
