Prejunctional and postjunctional actions of endogenous norepinephrine at the sympathetic neuroeffector junction in canine coronary arteries.
The effects of endogenous and of exogenous norepinephrine were studied in isolated rings of canine left circumflex coronary artery and its first ventricular branch. Norepinephrine was released from adrenergic nerve endings by transmural electrical stimulation and by tyramine. In rings contracted with prostaglandin F2 alpha, transmural electrical stimulation resulted in frequency-dependent relax...
متن کاملPrejunctional and postjunctional actions of heptanol and 18β-glycyrretinic acid in the rodent vas deferens
Heptanol and 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid (18 beta GA) block gap junctions, but have other actions on transmitter release that have not been characterised. This study investigates the prejunctional and postjunctional effects of these compounds in guinea pig and mouse vas deferens using intracellular electrophysiological recording and confocal Ca(2+) imaging of sympathetic nerve terminals. In mic...
متن کاملSympathetic innervation of cerebral arteries: prejunctional supersensitivity to norepinephrine after sympathectomy or cocaine treatment.
The inactivation of the norepinephrine transmitter in the region of the adrenergic receptor is one important function of the sympathetic nerve terminals innervating blood vessels. This capacity was tested on isolated cat's middle cerebral artery (MCA) by recordings of the contractile response induced by norepinephrine at various stages after sympathectomy (excision of the superior cervical gang...
متن کاملGeorge E. Brown memorial lecture. Local modulation of adrenergic neurotransmission.
The cardiovascular reflexes, by regulating the traffic in the sympathetic nerves, govern the amount of norepinephrine released from the nerve endings. However, the final adjustments in the amount of neurotransmitter available to activate the beta 1 receptors in the heart and the alpha receptors in the blood vessels take place at the sympathetic neuroeffector junction. Thus, a decrease in pH, hy...
متن کاملThe effects of acetylstrophanthidin and ouabain on the sympathetic adrenergic neuroeffector junction in canine vascular smooth muscle.
We performed experiments to determine the effects of acetylstrophanthidin (ACS) and ouabain on the adrenergic neuroeffector junction in dog saphenous veins. In quiescent strips incubated with 3H-norepinephrine (3H-NE), the drugs caused contraction and a progressive increase in overflow of 3H-NE and O-methylated metabolites; 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG) decreased. Tissue uptake of 3H-NE was...
