Succinylcholine potentiates acetylcholine-induced contractile and phosphatidylinositol responses of rat trachea

Abstract

SCh potentiated ACh-induced, but not CCh-induced, contractile and PI responses, and enhanced EFS-induced contraction of rat trachea, suggesting that competition for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in airway smooth muscle could be involved in the potentiation by SCh of ACh-induced airway smooth muscle contraction.

Effects of neostigmine on bronchoconstriction with continuous electrical stimulation in rats

“…c-EFS was defined as an electrical stimulation for more than 60 sec, while an ordinary EFS was as an electrical stimulation for 10 sec [4,5].…”
