Figure 5. Effects of taurine on the contractile amplitude of isolated jejunal segments pretreated with verapamil. Representative traces and statistical analysis (n=6) of taurine-induced effects on the contractile amplitude of isolated jejunal segments pretreated with 1 μM verapamil in the normal contractile state (NCS, control), CS induced by high Ca2+ (5.0 mM) Krebs buffer and CS induced by low Ca2+ (1.25 mM) Krebs buffer. The mean contractile amplitude without verapamil treatment in NCS is set to 100%; other data are the relative values compared with NCS. CS: contractile state.
