Endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation induced by<i>Globularia alypum</i>extract is mediated by EDHF in perfused rat mesenteric arterial bed
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vasodilatory effect of Globularia alypum L. (GA) extract was evaluated in rat mesenteric arterial bed pre-contracted by continuous infusion of phenylephrine (2-4 ng/mL). Bolus injections of GA elicited dose-response vasodilation, which was abolished after endothelium removal. Addition of a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (100 µmol/L), alone or in the presence of a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin (10 µmol/L), did not significantly affect the vasodilation of the mesenteric arterial bed in response to GA extract. These results suggest that GA-induced vasodilation is endothelium dependent but nitric oxide and prostacyclin independent. In the presence of high K(+) (60 mmol/L), the GA vasodilatory effect was completely abolished, suggesting that the vasodilation effect is mediated by hyperpolarization of the vascular cells. Also, pre-treatment with atropine (a muscarinic receptors antagonist) antagonized the GA-induced vasodilation, suggesting that the vasodilatory effect is mainly mediated by the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor through activation of endothelial muscarinic receptors.

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.
