Fig. 4From: Essential oil from Xylopia frutescens Aubl. reduces cytosolic calcium levels on guinea pig ileum: mechanism underlying its spasmolytic potentialEffect of XF-EO on cumulative curves to CaCl2 in absence (●) or presence of 3 (○), 9 (■), 27 (□) and 81 μg/mL (▲) (a) or KCl (40 mM) (∇) or S-(-)-Bay K8644 (3 x 10−7 M) (♦) tonic contraction (b) on guinea pig ileum (n = 5). Symbols and vertical bars represent mean and S.E.M, respectively. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test, ***p < 0.001 (Control vs. XF-EO)Back to article page
