Damage from dissection is associated with reduced neuro-musclar transmission and gap junction coupling between circular muscle cells of guinea pig ileum, in vitro.

Excitatory and inhibitory junction potentials of circular smooth muscle cells in guinea pig ileum and colon are suppressed 30-90 minutes after setting up in vitro preparations. We have previously shown this ‘unresponsive’ period is associated with a transient loss of dye coupling between smooth musc...
