  1. 01LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In human bronchial epithelial cells, basolateral oxytocin induced a transient short-circuit current stimulation, which arginine vasopressin did not.

    In plain wordsIn lab-grown human airway cells, oxytocin triggered a short rise in chloride secretion current, while vasopressin did not.

    Summary
    In symmetrical Cl(-) solutions, basolateral application of arginine vasotocin (AVT), oxytocin or isotocin induced a transient I(sc) stimulation (I(peak)), whereas arginine vasopressin (AVP) did not.

    Using the 16HBE14o- bronchial epithelial cell line, we investigated their action on Cl(-) secretion.
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In human bronchial epithelial cells, the efficacy order for the peak current was arginine vasotocin above oxytocin above isotocin, far above arginine vasopressin.

    In plain wordsIn lab-grown human airway cells, oxytocin was less effective than vasotocin but more effective than isotocin and vasopressin at triggering the current.
