title: Effects of verapamil, papaverine, sodium nitrite, and hydralazine on ethyl alcohol-induced contraction of the isolated human umbilical artery.
abstract: In this in vitro study, the vasodilator effects of certain drugs such as verapamil, papaverine, sodium nitrite and hydralazine on ethyl alcohol-induced contractions were investigated in the isolated human umbilical artery. Ethyl alcohol caused dose dependent contractions in this tissue. Papaverine, sodium nitrite and hydralazine were found to be effective.
