Professor Ching Chun Li (C. C. Li), one of the greatest geneticists in the world and a pioneer of genetics in China, passed away fifteen years ago (Fig. 1). Let us remember him together.**Do you know who the greatest, world-renown Chinese geneticist is?" The answer,**C. C. Li, of course!” would puzzle most, if not all, of us;many in our generation don't know Who is Who (Atte ntion!

α_(1A)-adrenergic receptor mediated pressor response to phenylephrine in anesthetized rat

To determine which subtype of α1-adrenergic receptors plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure, with α1A-adrenergic receptor-mediated vasoconstriction in perfused hindlimb as a control, we compared the inhibitory effects of various ai-adrenergic receptor selective antagonists on the vasopressure responses to phenylephrine between the mean arterial pressure and hindlimb perfusion pressure in anesthetized rats. In Normotensive Wistar rats, the results showed that the inhibitory effects (dose ratios of ED50, Dr) of α1-adrenoceptor selective antagonist (prazosin, Dr 13.5±3.6 vs.15.1±4.3, n = 11), α1A-adrenoceptor selective antagonist (5-methyl-urapidil, Dr 2.4±0.9 vs. 3.7±2.3, n = 12; RS-17053, Dr 3.2±1.6 vs. 4.4±3.3, n =12) and α1D-adrenoceptor selective antagonist (BMY7378, Dr 1.9±0.9 vs. 2.2±0.8, n = 8) on phenylephrine- induced increases of perfusion pressure in the autoperfused femoral beds were the same as that in the mean arterial blood pressure in normotensive Wistar rats.
