title: [Action of trimethyl 3,3-N-hexene-5-lactam on the mechanical properties of the longitudinal fibers of the rat colon. An in vitro study].
abstract: The effects of trimethyl 3,3-N-hexene-5-lactam (T. H. L.) on the mechanical properties of longitudinal muscle strips of the distal rat colon were investigated through stretching, electrical stimulation and addition of pharmacologic agents. T. H. L. abolished the contraction induced by electrical stimulation and decreased amplitude of contractions induced by carbamoylcholine and serotonin. It further reduced the relaxation induced by adrenaline.
