The effect of a selective octopamine antagonist, epinastine, on pharyngeal pumping in Caenorhabditis elegans

This paper investigates the effect of epinastine, a selective octopamine antagonist in invertebrates, in Caenorhabditis elegans. Specifically, its ability to block the inhibitory action of octopamine on C. elegans-isolated pharynx was assayed. Isolated pharynxes were stimulated to pump by the additi...
