Figure 3. Effects of taurine on the contractile amplitude of isolated jejunal segments pretreated with tetrodotoxin (TTX). Representative traces and statistical analysis (n=6) of taurine-induced effects on the contractile amplitude of isolated jejunal segments in the normal contractile state (NCS, control), high contractile state (HCS) induced by high Ca2+ (5.0 mM) Krebs buffer and low contractile state (LCS) induced by low Ca2+ (1.25 mM) Krebs buffer pretreated with TTX (0.3 μM). The contractile amplitude in NCS is set to 100%; other data are the relative values compared with NCS. CS: contractile state.
