Antiemetic effects of serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (ICS205-930, zacopride, BRL43694, GR38032F) were investigated in Suncus murinus. Veratrine, nicotine, copper sulfate, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide and motion sickness were used as emetic stimuli. Serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists did not
We analyzed the cisplatin-induced emetic responses of Suncus murinus by observation of both videorecorded behavior and changes in peak expiratory flow (PEF) as monitored by whole-body plethysmography. Analysis of the PEF data by use of a macro program revealed emesis-related changes in PEF.
We subcutaneously injected 0.5 mg/kg veratrine into the musk shrew (Suncus murinus), observed the presence or absence, latency, and the incidence of vomiting in each animal for 90 min, and selected animals that frequently vomited (FV group) and those that did not vomit (NV group). Subsequently,
In order to elucidate possible male/female differences in emesis, the effects of various emetogenic drugs (cisplatin, copper sulfate, veratrine, nicotine, serotonin) and motion stimulus were compared between male and female Suncus murinus. Cisplatin (IP), nicotine (SC), veratrine (SC) and copper
Effects of various emetic and antiemetic drugs were studied using Suncus murinus for its potential use as an experimental model in emetic research. Subcutaneous injection of nicotine bitartrate (10-15 mg/kg), veratrine sulfate (0.5-1.0 mg/kg), emetine dihydrochloride (40-80 mg/kg) and oral
The participation of free radicals in cisplatin-induced emesis was investigated in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values, which indicate the degree of lipid peroxidation, in brain, liver and small intestine were increased significantly 60 min after the treatment with
The vomiting (emetic) reflex is documented in numerous mammalian species, including primates and carnivores, yet laboratory rats and mice appear to lack this response. It is unclear whether these rodents do not vomit because of anatomical constraints (e.g., a relatively long abdominal esophagus) or
The emetic (vomiting) reflex in a crocodilian, Crocodylus porosus, was characterised for the first time using the plant alkaloid veratrine (5 mg kg(-)(1) i.v. or i.p.) as an emetic stimulus. The latency to the onset of vomiting was 8.0+/-0.9 min (mean +/- s.e.m., N=5 animals). Vomiting was preceded
The antiemetic effects of six serotonergic 5-HT1A-receptor agonists, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetrarin (8-OH-DPAT), 4-(4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazin-1-yl]butyl)-2,3,4,5- tetrahydro-1,4-benzoxazepine-3,5-dione (SUN8399), buspirone, gepirone, ipsapirone and tandospirone, against motion sickness
To clarify the role of autonomic nervous function in motion sickness, the effect of agents that act on the autonomic nervous system on the motion stimuli-induced emesis was studied in two strains of Suncus murinus (Jic:SUN-Her and Jic:SUN-Ler) with congenitally different sensitivity to veratrine
We have shown previously that Suncus murinus, a species of the insectivore, can vomit in response to various emetogenic stimuli. In the present study we investigated whether or not Sorex unguiculatus, which belongs to different subfamily (Soricinae) of insectivore, vomits in response to emetogenic
This study investigated how baro- and chemoreceptor afferents interact with emetic signals from gastric afferents and the vestibular system, and how these interactions modulate emetic and prodromal responses. We performed splanchnic denervation and abdominal vagotomy in anesthetized shrews (Suncus
