contractions due to α-adrenoceptor agonists are mediated by α1-adrenoceptors in rat carotid artery

چکیده
some large vessels have a mixed functional population of postjunctional α1- and α 2-adrenoceptors. the purpose of the work presented here was to investigate the population of postjunctional α -adrenoceptors in the rat isolated common carotid artely male wi star rats were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium, after which the left and right common carotid arteries were removed. rings of arteries 3-4 mm in length were cut from each vessel and then mounted in 10 ml isolated organ bath, bathed in krebs maintained at 37°c and gassed with 95% o2 plus 5% co2, the preparations were allowed to equilibrate for an hour. when antagonists were used, the preparations were incubated for at least 45 minutes with the drugs prior to the onset of a second ccrc. the cunent study focused on the possibility of post junctional α 2-adrenoceptors that could influence adrenergic system-mediated vascular α -adrenoceptor responsiveness in this cephalic artery. the dominance of α 1-adrenoceptors is shown by the high sensitivity of noradrenaline or phenylephrine to prazosin and the ineffectiveness of rauwolscine, except in non-selective concentrations. uk-14304 produced contractions and it is theoretically possible that uk-14304 exerts its actions through combined al and α 2 activation, but the effectiveness of prazosin and the ineffectiveness of rauwolscine, except in non-selective concentrations, shows that even this effect is mediated through α1-adrenoceptors. thus we suggest that the population of postjunctional α -adrenoceptors mediating contraction of smooth muscle in the rat carotid artery is predominantly of the α1type.

The effects of alpha and beta-adrenergic stimulation on triacylglycerol secretion were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine within 3h of incubation suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 35% and increased its cellular content by 18%. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of phentolamine and also prazosin but not with propranolol. Trifluoperazine c...
متن کاملα1- Adrenoceptors in Small Blood Vessels
The relative importance of the different α1-adrenoceptor subtypes in regulation of peripheral resistance and systemic arterial blood pressure is not clear, as the contribution of different subtypes to vasoconstriction varies with species and resistance vascular bed [1,2]. A further factor which may influence the subtypes involved in vasoconstriction physiologically is the manner of receptor act...
