Role of Oxygen-free radicals on the motility of rat ileum effects of Xanthine plus Xanthine Oxidase
The major objective of the present study was to characterize the effects of oxidants generated b xanthine (X) plus xanthine oxidase (XO) on isolated rat ileum motility. The effects of three concentrations of X/XO on the basal tone of the rat ileum preparation were studied for 20 minutes. Developed t...
