摘要
This study examines the effects of inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced contraction in rat urinary bladder smooth muscle. Neostigmine, a non-selective ChE inhibitor, caused concentration-dependent contractions in rat urinary bladder strips, whereas tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide (iso-OMPA; a BuChE inhibitor) failed to affect the resting tone of the preparations. Neostigmine (1 muM) markedly augmented the contractile responses to ACh. Although iso-OMPA (10 muM) also potentiated ACh-induced contraction, the effect was less than that evoked by neostigmine. The activities of AChE in rat urinary bladder strips were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of BuChE. These results indicated that AChE, rather than BuChE, plays an important role in controlling ACh-induced contractions of rat urinary bladder.
