Effect of timolol versus propranolol on hypertension and hemodynamics.
The effect of timolol versus propranolol on hypertension, hemodynamics, and plasms renin activity was evaluated in 20 men. After two weeks of placebo, 11 men received timolol 30 to 60 mg daily, and nine men received propranolol, 240 to 480 mg daily, for five weeks in a double-blind randomized study. The 20 men then received placebo again for two weeks. Right heart catheterization was performed ...

متن کاملComparison of the effects of timolol and other adrenergic agents on intraocular pressure in the rabbit.
The effect of timolol, propranolol, epinephrine, and isoproterenol on intraocular pressure (IOP) (measured by tonometry) were compared after topical administration in conscious rabbits. Epinephrine and isoproterenol decreased IOP in normotensive rabbits, whereas propranolol had no effect. Timolol produced only a slight and inconsistent lowering of IOP in normotensive rabbits. All four agents re...
متن کاملInhibition of angiotensin II potentiation of sympathetic nerve activity by beta-adrenergic antagonists.
Since beta-adrenergic blockers are effective in the therapy of hypertension by a mechanism related to the degree of activation of the renin-angiotensin system, the effect of eight beta blockers was examined on angiotensin II potentiation of nerve stimulation (NS) in isolated perfused rat mesenteric vessels. The vasoconstrictor response to periarterial NS was obtained by monitoring changes in pe...
متن کاملA comparison of beta adrenergic blocking drugs in the treatment of hypertension
Beta adrenergic blocking drugs were found to be effective hypotensive agents in the long-term treatment of patients with hypertension. In 40% of patients they appeared to be an extremely satisfactory antihypertensive agent. The fall in blood pressure was confirmed in a double blind study which also indicated that propranolol, prindolol, alprenolol and MK 950 (timolol) had similar antihypertensi...
