Mammalian Ringer Solution Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the salts required to prepare the mammalian ringer solution were purchased from Fischer chemical limited, Guangzhou, China. Tadalafil (Code No: CAS-171596-29-5) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA. All the fine chemicals used in the study were obtained from Qualigens, Mumbai, India. We used potassium chloride (KCl) to induce contraction in the ureteral tissue, as it has been used since a long time to artificially activate smooth muscle by a highly reproducible mechanism that works through the activation of calcium channels leading to increases in cytosolic-free Ca2+ and activation of myosin light-chain kinase followed by contraction.[10 (link)] KCl and Tadalafil were dissolved in double-distilled water or dimethyl sulfoxide and made into stock solutions.

Preparation of Stock Solutions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Potassium chloride (KCl; Qualigens, Mumbai, India), was dissolved in double-distilled water to obtain a concentration of 168 mg/ml. KCl was prepared fresh every day. Tadalafil (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was dissolved in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to achieve a concentration of 5 mg/ml. Glibenclamide (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was dissolved in 90% ethanol to obtain a 2 mM stock solution. Iberiotoxin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was dissolved in double-distilled water to obtain a 4 μM stock solution.

Stock solutions of tadalafil (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, SC-208412), were administered to pregnant and non-pregnant mice via oral gavage at 2 mg/kg body weight at one h post-exposure and every 24 h thereafter. Control mice received equal volumes of sterile saline by gavage.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
