متن کاملTHE ROLE OF o^-ADRENOCEPTORS IN ADRENALINE- INDUCED HYPERKALAEMIA
The hyperkalaemic action of adrenaline was investigated in 44 anaesthetized domestic pigs. Plasma and epicardial concentrations of K were measured, in the latter case with an ion-selective electrode. Adrenaline 10 pgkg~ caused a rapid increase in the plasma concentration of K from 4.2 to 5.9 mmol litre'. The magnitude and the time course of epicardial concentration of K were similar. Alpha-adre...
