Stimulation of the vagal trunk in cats anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium produced a contractile response of the stomach during stimulation (initial contraction). Pretreatment with either hexamethonium (0.3 to 30 mg/kg, i.v.) or gallamine (1 to 100 mg/kg, i.v.) dose-dependently produced a delayed contraction, following the initial contraction after stimulation. After the administration of either hexamethonium or gallamine produced a maximum delayed contraction, then an additional dose of gallamine or hexamethonium was administered. The subsequent treatment further augmented the delayed contraction. The results indicate that gallamine induced the delayed contraction by a mechanism different from hexamethonium.
