The muscarinic antagonist gallamine induces proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells regardless of the cell phenotype

Stamatiou R., Paraskeva E., Vasilaki A., Hatziefthimiou A. (2019)

Background: Muscarinic receptor antagonists are a usual treatment for chronic airway diseases, with increased bronchoconstriction, like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases are usually accompanied ...

Long-term exposure to muscarinic agonists decreases expression of contractile proteins and responsiveness of rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells

Stamatiou, R.; Paraskeva, E.; Vasilaki, A.; Mylonis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Hatziefthimiou, A. (2014)

Background: Chronic airway diseases, like asthma or COPD, are characterized by excessive acetylcholine release and airway remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of muscarinic agonists on ...

Ranolazine-Induced Postrepolarization Refractoriness Suppresses Induction of Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation in Anesthetized Rabbits

Aidonidis, I.; Doulas, K.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Tagarakis, G.; Simopoulos, V.; Rizos, I.; Tsilimingas, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2013)

Ranolazine (Ran) is a novel anti-ischemic agent with electrophysiologic properties mainly attributed to the inhibition of late Na+ current and atrial-selective early Na+ current. However, there are only limited data regarding ...
