The in vitro effect of acetylcholine, pilocarpine, serotonina and adrenaline on gastric motility of the teleost Hoplias malabaricus was studied. The stomach of this specieshas spontaneous contractile activity, with no relationship between tension or frequency of contrations and fish weight. Acetylcholine reduced the frequency of contrations at higher concentrations, but had not effect at lower concentrations. The higher doses of this drug increased the tension and tonus of the contrations. Pilocarpine increased the frequency and tension of contractions at higher concentrations, but had not effect at lower concentrations, and increased tonus only at the concentration of 10-7 M. A significant correlation between the doses of acetylcholine and policarpine and tension of gastric contractions was found. Adrenaline and serotonina had not effect on the frequency, tension and tonus of the stomach contractions. The results obtained with acetylcholine and policarpine demonstrate that the stomach of H. malabaricus has muscarinic cholinoceptors. The results obtained with adrenaline and serptonin did not demonstrate the existence of adrenergic or serotonergic receptors in the stomach of this species.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
