Effects of the α1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine on SART stress-induced orthostatic hypotension in rats
BACKGROUND Specific alternation of rhythm in temperature (SART)-stressed rats, an animal model of autonomic imbalance, exhibit low blood pressure and tachycardia during consciousness and under anesthesia. In addition, these rats easily develop orthostatic hypotension (OH) as a response to postural manipulation. Hence, we studied the influence of the adrenalin α1-receptor agonist phenylephrine o...

Introduction Orthostatic hypotension is a relatively common symptom caused by a variety of aetiologies. The most common of these are: neuropathies due to systemic diseases such as diabetes, amyloidosis and porphyria; vaso-vagal attacks; hypovolaemia; ShyDrager syndrome (idiopathic orthostatic hypotension); adverse effects of anti-adrenergic drugs, L-dopa and dopaminergic drugs; phaeochromocytom...
متن کاملOrthostatic hypotension.
A 29-year-old white woman (weight, 1211b; height, 5 ft 6 in.) was referred to the Hypertension Unit of Massachusetts General Hospital in December 1984. She had been athletic and apparently in excellent health until September 1979 when she contracted an upper respiratory tract infection associated with wheezing. She was treated with prednisone for 5 days with resolution of the symptoms but later...
متن کاملDopamine acts as a partial agonist for α2A adrenoceptor in melanin-concentrating hormone neurons.
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that promotes positive energy balance and anxiety. Since dopamine (DA) is also closely implicated in these functions, the present study investigated the effect of DA on MCH neurons. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in rat brain slices, we found that DA hyperpolarizes MCH neurons by activating G-protein-activated inwardly ...
