A SENSITIVE METHOD FOR THE ASSAY OF 5‐HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE

Open access
VANE, J. R.·1957·British Journal of Pharmacology and Chemotherapy

Abstract

The movements of a strip of fundus from a rat stomach, suspended in a 5 ml. bath at 37°, are recorded by a spring‐loaded lever. The muscle is stretched for 15 to 30 sec. between contractions. 1 ng. 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT), 10 ng. acetylcholine or 2 to 10 μg. of histamine all produce contractions, giving tracings about 4 cm. high. In the presence of hyoscine (10−7) low concentrations of 5‐HT can be assayed directly from mixtures of the three substances. Sympathomimetic amines interfere with the assay, but this can be overcome. The preparation is robust, potentially suitable for use with an automatic assay apparatus and 10 to 100 times more sensitive than the rat uterus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
