Fig. 5. Original tracings showing the effect of PACAP 27 (A; 10-7 mol
l-1), VIP (B; 10-6 mol l-1), NaNP (C;
10-7 and 10-6 mol l-1), GABA (D;
10-7-10-4 mol l-1) and L-NAME (E;
3x10-4 mol l-1) on the cardiac stomach of
Xenopus laevis. The appearance of spontaneous activity varied between
individual preparations. PACAP 27, VIP, NaNP and GABA reduced the resting
tension while the NOS inhibitor L-NAME enhanced the activity.
