Nitrergic and cholinergic vagal pathways involved in the regulation of canine proximal gastric tone: an <i>in vivo</i> study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To better understand the relationship between cholinergic and nitrergic (NO) innervation in the regulation of proximal gastric (fundic) tone in vivo, the effects of nitric oxide synthase blockade on fundic tone were studied in conscious dogs using vagal cooling and an electronic barostat. Vagal cooling, atropine (0.05 mg kg-1 i. v. bolus) and hexamethonium (1 mg kg-1 i.v. bolus) all markedly decreased fundic tone as reflected by increased intragastric volume, indicating a significant contribution of vagal and enteric cholinergic pathways to the maintenance of canine fundic tone. Administration of L-NNA (10 mg kg-1 i.v. bolus) increased fundic tone and the effects of L-NNA were completely prevented by prior vagal cooling or atropine administration, but not by pretreatment with hexamethonium. The relaxation effects of neurally derived NO appear primarily related to inhibition of ongoing vagal cholinergic activity. The data are consistent with the primary site of action of nitrergic mechanisms on gastric fundic tone in conscious dogs being at a presynaptic site on vagal cholinergic efferent nerves.

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.
