Acetylcholine 163-176 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 34-37 6115624-3 1981 Alpha adrenoceptor antagonists, hexamethonium and 6-hydroxydopamine diminished the effectiveness of low acetylcholine concentrations on normal and castrated preparations of the epididymal portion of isolated rat vas deferens, but did not influence the maximal response. Acetylcholine 104-117 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 212-215 6115624-5 1981 The results obtained suggest that low doses of acetylcholine may affect the contractile function of the isolated epididymal portion of rat vas deferens by producing a release of norepinephrine from presynaptic sites and acts in a similar fashion on preparations from both normal and castrated animals. Acetylcholine 47-60 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 139-142
