Differential effects of salvinorin A on endotoxin-induced hypermotility and neurogenic ion transport in mouse ileum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Salvinorin A (SA) is the principal active ingredient of Salvia divinorum, with an established inhibitory action on gastrointestinal (GI) transit and colonic ion transport in mice. Under normal conditions, the effects of SA are mediated by kappa opioid (KOR) and cannabinoid (CB1 and CB2) receptors. However, the role of SA in pathophysiological conditions remains unresolved. The aim of this study was to characterize the in vitro and in vivo effects of SA on mouse ileum after endotoxin challenge. METHODS: Changes in GI motility were studied in vitro, using smooth muscle preparations from the mouse ileum. In vivo, the fecal pellet output and small intestinal fluid content were measured. Neurogenic ion transport and intestinal permeability were examined using Ussing chambers. In addition, Western blot analysis of mucosa was performed and plasma nitrite/nitrate levels were determined. KEY RESULTS: Salvinorin A inhibited endotoxin-induced ileal hypercontractility via KOR, CB1, and CB2 receptors. Neurogenic ion transport, which was significantly reduced after endotoxin challenge, was normalized by SA through a nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-dependent mechanism. Western blot analysis and plasma nitrite/nitrate level quantitation confirmed the involvement of NOS in the regulatory action of SA. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: This is the first report showing differential effects of SA on motor and secretory activity in mouse GI during endotoxemia. The outcomes of our study imply possible novel applications of SA and its analogs in the treatment of GI disorders.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
