FIGURE 3

Representative mechanical recordings from the circular muscle show the effect of paracetamol (10–9 to 10–5 M) and HBB (10–7 to 10–5 M) on spontaneous phasic contractions (A), cch (10–5 M)-induced contractions (D), and the excitatory neural pathway under non-nitrergic non-purinergic conditions (G). Graphs (left) show the effect of accumulative concentrations of paracetamol (10–9 to 10–5 M) andhistograms (right) show the effect of paracetamol 10–5 M plus HBB (10–7 to 10–5 M) on spontaneous phasic contractions (B,C), cch-induced contractions (E,F), and electrical field stimulation-induced contractions (H,I) in the circular (B,E,H) and longitudinal (C,F,I) muscles. Dunnett’s post hoc test was done after ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 compared with paracetamol 10–5 M. Data were normalized (i.e., 100%) to the basal AUC or the electrical field stimulation amplitude before drug addition. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM.
