Effect of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) (10−4 M) on the basal MI of colon muscle strips and on the contraction induced by exogenous agonists. Left: NEM 10−4 M had no effect on the basal MI. Middle: in muscle strips, NEM blocked the contraction induced by ACh (10−6 M) (*P < 0.001 by ANOVA) but had no effect on the contraction induced by PGF2α (10−6 M). Right: NEM blocked the contraction induced by ACh (10−6 M) in dissociated muscle cells (**P < 0.001 by ANOVA) but also had no effect on PGF2α-induced contraction. Values are means ± SE of n = 4.
