Representative traces of the effect of escin and diosmin on rat IVC. Rat IVC segments were treated with escin or diosmin (10−10 to 10−4 M) in normal Krebs (2.5 mM Ca2+) (A and B) or in Ca2+-free (2 mM EGTA) Krebs (C and D). In other experiments, IVC segments incubated in 0 Ca2+ Krebs were treated with 10−4 M escin (E) or diosmin (F) then increasing concentrations of extracellular CaCl2 (0.1 to 2.5 mM) were added and the contractile response to Ca2+ was observed. Traces are representative of 4 to 9 experiments. Horizontal bar = 4 min, Vertical bar = 0.5 g.
