Five doses of HSE were examined (1, 5, 10, 50, and 100\u00a0mg\/kg) in 3 groups of rats: controls, after bladder inflammation, and after bilateral hypogastric neurectomy. In some rats, uterine contractions were induced by injection of oxytocin (OT) and the effect of HSE was compared with that of nifedipine. HSE increased MTs in a dose-dependent manner in all groups. Neither atropine (0.1\u00a0mg\/kg) nor propranolol (0.4\u00a0mg\/kg) had significant effects on cystometric parameters. They also did not affect the responses obtained by HSE on cystometric parameters. As with bladder response, HSE inhibited both the rate and amplitude of uterine contractions in all groups in a dose-dependent manner. The uterine response to HSE was not affected by administration of either atropine or propranolol. A slight, but significant, reduction of contraction amplitude by HSE in the OT precontracted uteri was only noted at a dose of 500\u00a0mg\/kg. Nifedipine was more potent than HSE in reducing uterine contraction amplitude. The present work documents inhibition by HSE of the rat bladder and uterine contractility in a dose-dependent manner via a mechanism unrelated to local or remote autonomic receptors or calcium channels. However, further investigation is needed to establish the exact mechanism of action.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1139\/y07-093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,16]],"date-time":"2008-04-16T14:51:55Z","timestamp":1208357515000},"page":"1020-1031","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Inhibitory effects of aqueous extract of Hibiscus\u00a0sabdariffa on contractility of the rat bladder and uterus"],"prefix":"10.1139","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Abdel-Motaal M.","family":"Fouda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Mansoura Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, P.O.
