A study was designed to investigate the effects of dopamine, α-methyldopamine and epinine on sympathetic neurotransmission to the myocardium by studying the chronotropic responses to cardioaccelerator nerve stimulation in pentobarbital anesthetized, desipramine treated dogs. During infusions of either one of the three amines, responses to cardiac nerve stimulation were significantly impaired at all the frequencies. Dopamine and epinine induced attenuation of chronotropic responses to cardiac nerve stimulation were completely prevented by prior treatment with haloperidol, while phentolamine caused only partial restoration of nerve stimulation responses. On the other hand, the impairment of nerve stimulation responses caused by α-methyldopamine were completely restored to control level by phentolamine treatment, while haloperidol caused only partial restoration. Evaluation of the effects of these agents on blood pressure of pentobarbital anesthetized dogs revealed that dopamine and epinine caused a depressor response following appropriate pretreatment, part of which was mediated via the action of these agents on postsynaptic dopaminergic receptors. However, α-methyldopamine failed to lower blood pressure in these dogs. These results support the concept for the existence of two presynaptic receptor mechanisms on the sympathetic nerve terminals and demonstrate that the inhibition of responses to nerve stimulation caused by dopamine and epinine was mediated via their action on presynaptic dopaminergic receptors while α-methyldopamine produced impairment of nervous transmission by acting on presynaptic alpha adrenergic receptors. Furthermore, although presynaptic alpha adrenergic receptors do play a functional role in modulating sympathetic transmission during nerve stimulation, presynaptic dopaminergic receptors do not seem to have a physiological role in this process. 相似文献

Effect of prostaglandin E2 on vascular responses of the rabbit kidney to nerve stimulation and noradrenaline, in vitro and in situ 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effect of prostaglandin E2 on vascular responses of the rabbit kidney to renal nerve stimulation and noradrenaline was examined and as a test of the hypthesis that prostaglandins of the E series may be involved in the regulation of adrenergic neuroeffector transmission. Intraarterial administration of prostaglandin E2 to the kidney caused marked inhibition of vascular responses to nerve stimulation whereas the responses to noradrenaline were not significantly altered. In the preparation, vascular responses to both nerve stimulation and noradrenaline were inhibited by prostaglandin E2 infusion, although its effect on responses to nerve stimulation was approximately twice that observed on responses to noradrenaline.It is concluded that prostaglandin E2 acts primarily at a prejunctional level of adrenergic neuroeffector transmission in the kidney, although a postjunctional effect has also been observed. 相似文献

In the isolated rabbit papillary muscle, experiments were carried out in order to elucidate whether or not cholinergic stimulation produces a differential antagonistic action on the positive inotropic effects mediated β- and α-adrenoceptor stimulation. Carbachol (0.1–30 μM) alone scarcely affected the basal tension developed. The postive inotropic effects of phenylephrine (30 μM) in the presence of phentolamine and of isoprenaline, which were mediated β-adrenoceptors, were markedly inhibited by carbachol. Carbachol (3 μM) shifted the dose-response curve for isoprenaline in a parallel manner, and that for phenylephrine with phentolamine to the right and downwards. Carbachol administered during induction of the positive inotropic effects α-adrenoceptors by phenylephrine (30 μM) with pindolol or by methoxamine failed to inhibit these effects and increased further the tension developed. The dose-response curve for phenylephrine determined in the presence of pindolol was not affected by carbachol. The present results indicate that the cholinergic antagonism of the adrenergic action on the contractility of the mammalian ventricular myocardium is exerted specifically to the β-adrenoceptor-mediated action, but not to the α-adrenoceptor-mediated one. 相似文献

Acetylcholine and the cholinergic agonists, pilocarpine and physostigmine, increased GH release . The increase in GH release by pilocarpine was reversed by concurrent administration of the cholinergic receptor blocker, atropine, whereas atropine alone did not alter serum GH concentrations. Cholinergic stimulation of GH release appears to be partially mediated through a catecholaminergic system since the response was partially inhibited by pimozide, a dopamine receptor blocker, or phentolamine, an α-adrenergic receptor blocker. The cholinergic system may function physiologically to help regulate GH release. 相似文献

Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) (3–300 pmol) administered to the dog mandibular gland the glandular artery produced salivation and an increase in blood flow rate in a dose-related manner. The salivary responses to PGF2α and to electrical stimulation of the chorda-lingual nerve were abolished by intra-arterial infusion of -hyoscymine (30 nmol/min), whereas the vascular responses to both were not affected. The salivary and vasodilator responses to PGF2α were not affected by intra-arterial infusion of hexamethonium (0.6–2 μmol/min) which abolished those to stimulation of the chordalingual nerve. These results support the prevous conclusion that PGF2α produces the two responses by exciting the parasympathetic ganglion or postganglionic neurons in the dog mandibular gland. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of chronic administration of the thromboxane synthetase inhibitor, UK 38,485, on noradrenergic neurotransmission. Male Sprague Dawley rats (n=14) were treated once daily with either UK 38,485 (100 mg/kg; n=7) or the vehicle of UK 38,485 (olive oil; n=7) by gavage. The dose of UK 38,485 chosen was sufficient to inhibit platelet TXB2 production by >90% for 24 hours. One week into the treatment animals were prepared for perfusion of their mesenteric vascular beds. Vasoconstrictor responses to both exogenous norepinephrine and periarterial nerve stimulation were determined both before and during an infusion of angiotensin II (9ng/min) into the superior mesenteric artery. UK 38,485 significantly (P<0.02) attenuated the vascular response to periarterial nerve stimulation without altering the vascular response to either norepinephrine or angiotensin II. UK 38,485 did not influence the baseline perfusion pressure, the mean arterial blood pressure or the potentiation of neurotransmission by angiotensin II. These data indicate that in the rat mesentery UK 38,485 attenuates the release of neurotransmitter from sympathetic nerve terminals. 相似文献

There is considerable evidence that the renal nerves contribute to the regulation of salt and water excretion by a direct effect on tubular reabsorption, independent of changes in renal hemodynamics. Whereas the effect of the adrenergic nervous system on sodium reabsorption appears to be established in anesthetized animals, it has been suggested that the basal activity of the renal sympathetic nerves in conscious dogs is too low to have a significant effect on sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubules. However, denervation natriuresis and diuresis have recently been demonstrated in conscious euvolemic and conscious volume-expanded rats. The effects of renal nerve stimulation on the handling of sodium and water by the proximal tubule can be mimicked by infusion of the α-adrenergic agonist norepinephrine and prevented by infusion of an α-adrenergic antagonist. This confirms that they are mediated by α-receptors. The adrenergic nervous system may have an independent role in the control of sodium excretion or may be complementary to other systems such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. 相似文献

The amplitude of low-frequency (LF) oscillations of heart rate (HR) usually reflects the magnitude of sympathetic activity, but during some conditions, e.g., physical exercise, high sympathetic activity results in a paradoxical decrease of LF oscillations of HR. We tested the hypothesis that this phenomenon may result from a feedback inhibition of sympathetic outflow caused by circulating norepinephrine (NE). A physiological dose of NE (100 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)) was infused into eight healthy subjects, and infusion was continued after alpha-adrenergic blockade [with phentolamine (Phe)]. Muscle sympathetic nervous activity (MSNA) from the peroneal nerve, LF (0.04-0.15 Hz) and high frequency (HF; 0.15-0.40 Hz) spectral components of HR variability, and systolic blood pressure variability were analyzed at baseline, during NE infusion, and during NE infusion after Phe administration. The NE infusion increased the mean blood pressure and decreased the average HR (P < 0.01 for both). MSNA (10 +/- 2 vs. 2 +/- 1 bursts/min, P < 0.01), LF oscillations of HR (43 +/- 13 vs. 35 +/- 13 normalized units, P < 0.05), and systolic blood pressure (3.1 +/- 2.3 vs. 2.0 +/- 1.1 mmHg2, P < 0.05) decreased significantly during the NE infusion. During the NE infusion after PHE, average HR and mean blood pressure returned to baseline levels. However, MSNA (4 +/- 2 bursts/min), LF power of HR (33 +/- 9 normalized units), and systolic blood pressure variability (1.7 +/- 1.1 mmHg2) remained significantly (P < 0.05 for all) below baseline values. Baroreflex gain did not change significantly during the interventions. Elevated levels of circulating NE cause a feedback inhibition on sympathetic outflow in healthy subjects. These inhibitory effects do not seem to be mediated by pressor effects on the baroreflex loop but perhaps by a presynaptic autoregulatory feedback mechanism or some other mechanism that is not prevented by a nonselective alpha-adrenergic blockade. 相似文献

Summary The effects of sympathetic nerve stimulation, adrenaline and isoprenaline on the inflow pressure and efferent arterial and venous flow rates were studied in a cod gill preparation perfused at constant flow rate.The dominant effect of adrenaline was a reduced inflow pressure, accompanied by an increase in arterial flow and a decrease in venous flow. Isoprenaline also decreased the inflow pressure, but the changes in both outflow rates were small or absent.Sympathetic nerve stimulation gave arterial and venous flow changes comparable to the adrenaline effects, but the inflow pressure increased during nerve stimulation. Propranolol has little effect on the nerve responses, but phentolamine abolished or reversed the increase in inflow pressure, and also decreased or abolished the changes in outflow rates.The possible sites of action of the sympathetic fibres, and the distribution of adrenoceptors in the effector tissue is discussed. It is concluded that the main effect of sympathetic nerve stimulation is -adrenoceptor mediated, involving constriction of the arterio-venous pathway. The-adrenoceptor mediated control of total branchial vascular resistance may largely depend on circulating catecholamines. 相似文献

Vasoconstriction induced by sympathetic nerve stimulation and by norepinephrine infusion in the superior mesenteric artery of cats anesthetized with pentobarbital was inhibited by adenosine infusions in a dose-related way. The responses to nerve stimulation were not inhibited to a greater extent than the responses to norepinephrine, thus suggesting no presynaptic modulation of sympathetic nerves supplying the resistance vessels of the feline intestinal vascular bed. Blockade of adenosine receptors using 8-phenyltheophylline did not alter the degree of constriction induced by nerve stimulation or norepinephrine infusion, indicating that in the fasted cat, endogenous adenosine co-released or released subsequent to constriction does not affect the peak vasoconstriction reached. Isoproterenol caused similar degrees of vasodilation as adenosine but did not show significant antagonism of the pooled responses to nerve stimulation or norepinephrine infusion; there was no tendency for the degree of dilation induced by isoproterenol to correlate with the inhibition of constrictor responses. Thus, the effect of adenosine on nerve- and norepinephrine-induced constriction is not secondary to nonspecific vasodilation. 相似文献

In pigeon erythrocyte membrane, the β-adrenergic receptor and the enzyme adenylate cyclase can be uncoupled in two different ways depending on the type of drug used.Cationic drugs: chlorpromazine, methochlorpromazine, tetracaine, and a neutral alcohol, octanol, abolished alprenolol receptor binding ability and in the same range of concentration of the drug, sensitized adenylate cyclase to fluoride or Gpp(NH)p stimulation. Anionic drugs: di- and trinitrophenols, indomethacin and octanoic acid did not affect the total number of β-adrenergic receptor sites and, with the exception of trinitrophenol, did not change the association constant for alprenolol but they abolished the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by isoproterenol, fluoride or Gpp(NH)p. These modifications of the adenylate cyclase system occurred in a range of drug concentration where cell shape and protection against hemolysis were also affected.As chemical composition varies widely from one drug to another, it is suggested that these effects are largely nonspecific and mediated by the lipid bilayer. They are probably related to a preferential sidedness of action of the drugs in the lipid bilayer, displaying the role of an asymmetric control of the adenylate cyclase system in the membrane by the two halves of this bilayer. 相似文献

Previous evidence has shown sympathetic nerve responses to insular cortical (IC) stimulation are mediated by synapses within the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and ventrolateral medulla (VLM). The present study was aimed at determining the neurotransmitter(s) and receptor(s) involved at the synapse in the VLM. Twenty male Wistar rats were instrumented for renal nerve, arterial pressure, and heart rate recording. The IC or the LHA was stimulated with a bipolar electrode (200-1000 microA; 2 ms; 0.8 Hz) to elicit sympathetic nerve responses. Antagonists were then pressure-injected into the VLM (300 nL). Bilateral and unilateral kynurenate (25 mM) resulted in 100% block of IC-and LHA-stimulated sympathetic nerve responses. Bilateral injection of the non-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX; 200 microM) also resulted in up to 100% block of IC and LHA sympathetic responses. In addition, unilateral injections of CNQX were made in two animals, resulting in 100 and 83% block of LHA sympathetic responses. Bilateral injection of the NMDA receptor antagonist DL-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP5; 200 microM) did not affect the response to IC or LHA stimulation. Kynurenate, CNQX, and AP5 all resulted in an elevation of baseline sympathetic nerve activity and a pressor response. Kynurenate resulted in a 263+/-79% increase in baseline activity, while CNQX and AP5 resulted in 83+/-19% and 91+/-21% increases. respectively. Bilateral injections of antagonists for GABA(A) (bicuculline; 0.1 microM), acetylcholine (atropine; 0.1 microM) and catecholaminergic alpha and beta receptors (phentolamine and propranolol: 0.1 microM) had no effect on LHA sympathetic responses. Thus, sympathetic responses originating in the IC and LHA are mediated by a non-NMDA receptors in the VLM, which are likely AMPA receptors. 相似文献

Isolated hepatocytes incubated with 2 mm ornithine-10 mm glutamine as substrates and challenged with either glucagon, epinephrine, or phenylephrine exhibited stimulated rates of urea production, and mitochondria isolated from these cells displayed an increased rate of energy-dependent citrulline formation. There was no change in the total carbamyl phosphate synthetase I activity, nor mitochondrial content of the positive effector N-acetyl glutamate after acute hormonal treatment. The time of onset of ureogenesis and its sensitivity to glucagon were compared with stimulation of glucose production from lactate-pyruvate. No apparent differences in time of onset or sensitivity of the responses were observed indicating both pathways may be stimulated by a common mechanism. Mitochondria prepared from cells treated with catecholamines exhibited increased rates of State 3 respiration and increased uncoupler-dependent ATPase activity, in addition to the increased rates of citrulline formation. There was also an elevated intramitochondrial content of ATP and an increased ratio. The catecholamine-induced stimulation of ureogenesis was mediated by an α-adrenergic cyclic AMP independent mechanism. The addition of the α-adrenergic antagonist, dihydroergotamine, blocked both the epinephrine-induced stimulation of ureogenesis and also the stimulated functions in the isolated mitochondria. dl-Propranolol, a β-antagonist, inhibited the rise in cyclic AMP due to epinephrine, but had no effect on any of the other reactions measured. The effects of catecholamines on citrulline formation and urea production are correlated with the increased capacity of the mitochondria to generate ATP. It is suggested that both glucagon and catecholamines, acting via independent mechanisms, stimulate electron transport and the activity of the ATP-forming enzyme complex. The consequent elevated intramitochondrial ATP levels and ratio enhance the rate of citrulline formation and hence ureogenesis. 相似文献

The relationship between accumulation of cyclic AMP and the secretion of α-amylase was investigated in the rat pancreas . Theophylline and secretin induced an increase in tissue cyclic AMP levels, however, only secretin stimulated secretion of α-amylase. Pancreozymin caused a release of α-amylase and had a biphasic effect on nucleotide levels — stimulation followed by inhibition. Carbachol, which induced a secretory response in the rat pancreas, reduced tissue levels of the cyclic nucleotide. 相似文献

The slow, striated muscles of the proctodeum (hindgut) of the cockroach, (L.), were examined pharmacologically with reference to the responses evoked by nerve stimulation, glutamate, 5-HT, and proctolin, a myotropic peptide from recently isolated and identified. The graded contractions evoked by repetitive nerve stimulation were simulated by 5-HT and proctolin at threshold concentrations of about 10−7 and 10−9 M respectively; responses to glutamate (∼10−4 M) were not similarly graded. The 5-HT receptors are distinct from other receptors, including the post-synaptic receptors, since they were specifically blocked by bromolysergic acid diethylamide. Proctolin was fully active on TTX-treated or surgically denervated muscle indicating that the proctolin receptors are located on the muscle fibre membrane. Tyramine, at threshold levels 5×10−8 M, reversibly antagonized the responses evoked by proctolin and by nerve stimulation but was without effect on the 5-HT and glutamate responses. Neurally evoked responses were potentiated by subthreshold concentrations of proctolin but not by glutamate. Pharmacologically, the proctolin and post-synaptic receptors appear to be identical and distinct from the glutamate and 5-HT receptors. Since proctolin is known to be a constituent of an efferent pathway of the proctodeal nerves, the evidence suggests that it may function as an excitatory transmitter substance. Peptidergic transmission is discussed in relation to the ultrastructural organization of the proctodeal nerve terminals which contain neurosectory granules in addition to electron-lucent, synaptic vesicles. 相似文献

DPI, a supposed selective agonist of inhibitory dopamine receptors, strongly increases rat diuresis through alpha-adrenergic receptor activation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The diuretic effect of dopamine (DA) was compared with that of other DA receptor stimulants in rats. While apomorphine (APO) and (±)N-n-propyl-norapomorphine (NPA) failed to increase urine excretion, (3, 4-dihydroxyphenylamino) -2-imidazoline (DPI), a supposed stmulant of DA inhibitory receptors, exerted a far greater diuretic efect than DA itself. The diuretic effect of DA and that of DPI were antagonized by a-adrenergic receptor antagonists such as phentolamine and yohimbine and by bulbocapnine. In contrast, DA receptor blockers such as haloperidol, pimozide, sulpiride and ergometrine were totally ineffective. It is concluded that the diuretic effect of DA and DPI are mediated by stimulation of a-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Effects of neurotransmitters and other pharmacological agents on 32Pi incorporation into phospholipids of the iris muscle of the rabbit 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The effects of norepinephrine, other catecholamines, α- and β- adrenergic receptor blocking agents and acetylcholine on the incorporation of 32Pi into phospholipids of the iris muscle of the rabbit were studied . There was a marked stimulation of 32Pi into phosphatidic acid (PhA), phosphatidyl inositol (PhI) and to a much lesser extent phosphatidyl choline but not into phosphatidyl ethanolamine. The increase in the 32P labeling of PhA and PhI in the presence of norepinephrine or acetylcholine, which ranged from 2- to 6-fold, was found to be time- and concerntration-dependent. Under our experimental conditions, several adrenergic drugs, including DL-propranolol, phentolamine, isoproterenol, phenylephrine, but not sotalol, increased markedly (nearly up to 5-fold) the 32Pi incorporation into PhA and PhI of the iris. In contrast, phenoxybenzamine, an α-receptor blocker, blocked completely the stimulatory effects of norepinephrine on phospholipid synthesis. The stimulation of phospholipid synthesis by acetylcholine was completely abolished by atropine. Incorporation of 32Pi into PhA and PhI was significantly increased in the presence of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine or histamine. Addition of γ-aminobutyric acid or cyclic AMP was ineffective. These observations suggest that in the iris muscle of the rabbit, which is innervated by cholinergic and adrenergic fibers, the phospholipid effect is probably a membrane effect that is not associated with synaptic transmission. 相似文献

The effect of norepinephrine and acetylcholine on the 32P incorporation into phospholipids of normal and sympathetically denervated rabbit iris muscle was investigated. (1) In the absence of exogenously added neurotransmitters sympathetic denervation exerted little effect on the incorporation of 32P into the phospholipids of the excised iris muscle. thr iris muscle incorporated 32P into phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and sphingomyelin in that order of activity while phosphatidylinositol was followed by phosphatidylcholine. (2) Tension responses of iris dilator muscle from denervated irises exhibited supersensitivity to norepinephrine. Furthermore, norepinephrine at concentrations of 3 μM and 30 μM produced 1.6 times and 3 times stimulation of the phosphatidic acid of the denervated muscle respectively. In contrast at 30 μM it stimulated this phospholipid by 1.6 times in the normal muscle. This stimulation was completely blocked by phentolamine. (3) While in the normal muscle acetylcholine stimulated the labelling of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol by more than 2 times, in the denervated muscle it only stimulated 1.4 to 1.7 times. (4) Similarly when 32Pi was administered intracamerally, the labelling found in the various phospholipids of the denervated iris was significantly lower than that of the normal. (5) It was concluded that denervation decreases the 32P labelling in the presence of acetylcholine. (6) The norepinephrine-stimulated 32P incorporation into phosphatidic acid appears to be post-synaptic. 相似文献

The effects of 6-keto-PGE1 on vascular resistance and vascular responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation and vasoconstrictor hormones were investigated in the feline mesenteric vascular bed. Infusions of 6-keto-PGE1 into the superior mesenteric artery dilated the mesenteric vascular bed and markedly inhibited vasoconstrictor responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation, norepinephrine and angiotensin II. The effects of 6-keto-PGE1 and PGE1 on vascular resistance and vasoconstrictor responses were quite similar and both substances inhibited responses to nerve stimulation and pressor hormones in a reversible manner. Responses to nerve stimulation, norepinephrine and angiotensin II were inhibited to a similar extent during infusion of 6-keto-PGE1 and PGE1. Results of these studies suggest that 6-keto-PGE1, a newly identified prostaglandin metabolite, and PGE1 possess the ability to inhibit the vasconstrictor effects of sympathetic nerve stimulation and pressor hormones by a nonspecific action on vascular smooth muscle in the feline small intestine. 相似文献
