چکیده

AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the effects of bisoprolol (BIS), a selective beta1-adrenoceptor antagonist without partial agonistic activity, on noradrenaline- and phenylephrine-evoked venoconstriction in man using the dorsal hand vein compliance technique. METHODS Twelve healthy male volunteers participated in three weekly experimental sessions. Subjects were allocated to treatments and sessions on a double-blind basis. In each session either BIS 5 mg (BIS5), or BIS 10 mg (BIS10), or placebo was administered orally, and noradrenaline acid tartrate (0.1-33.33 ng min (-1) followed by phenylephrine hydrochloride (0.033-10 microg min(-l)) was infused into the dorsal hand vein. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were also measured. RESULTS Both noradrenaline and phenylephrine produced dose-dependent venoconstriction: the geometric mean ED50 for noradrenaline was 3.21 ng min(-1) and for phenylephrine 135.04 ng min(-1); the potency ratio (noradrenaline/phenylephrine) was 42. Both BIS5 and BIS10 significantly decreased the venoconstriction to noradrenaline (ANOVA; P<0.005), and to phenylephrine (ANOVA; P<0.001). The antagonism of the venoconstrictor responses was also reflected in a significant increase in logED50 values for both noradrenaline (ANOVA; P<0.005), and phenylephrine (ANOVA; P<0.0025) in the presence of both doses of BIS. Both doses of BIS significantly decreased heart rate (ANOVA; P<0.0001), and systolic blood pressure (ANOVA; P<0.0025). CONCLUSIONS Bisoprolol can antagonize alpha1-adrenoceptor mediated venoconstriction in the human dorsal hand vein in vivo through a mechanism which remains to be elucidated.

Differential effects of bucindolol and carvedilol on noradenaline-induced hypertrophic response in ventricular cardiomyocytes of adult rats.

In adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, noradrenaline exerts dual effects on protein synthesis: increases via alpha(1)-adrenoceptors and decreases via beta(1)-adrenoceptors. Carvedilol and bucindolol are beta-blockers with additional alpha(1)-adrenoceptor blocking activities. We studied the effects of carvedilol and bucindolol on noradrenaline-induced protein synthesis (assessed by [(3)H]pheny...

PRE- AND POSTJUNCTIONAL α-ADRENOCEPTORS IN RABBIT ARTICULAR BLOOD VESSELS

Previous in vitro work on rabbit knee joint vessels showed that vasoconstrictor effects of nerve stimulation and administration of α-adrenoceptor agonists were mediated predominantly by α1-adrenoceptors5,9 The present experiments were performed to assess the nature of α-adrenoceptor subtypes within these blood vessels in vivo. Dose/response relationships for adrenaline and noradrenaline pr...

Cardiovascular effects of noradrenaline microinjected into the insular cortex of unanesthetized rats

The insular cortex (IC) has been reported to be involved in central cardiovascular control. In the present study, we investigated the cardiovascular responses evoked by microinjection of noradrenaline into the IC as well as the central and peripheral mechanisms involved in their mediation. Microinjection of noradrenaline into the IC (3, 7, 10, 15, 30 and 45 nmol/100 nL) caused long-lasting dose...

–Noradrenaline and adrenergic agonists were tested on pacemaker-like and silent neurons of the rat rostral ventrolateral medulla using intracellular recordings in coronal brainstem slices as well as in punches containing only the rostral ventrolateral medullary region. Noradrenaline (1–100 μM) depolarized or increased the frequency of discharge of all cells tested in a dose-dependent manner. Th...

INFLUENCE OF ENDO THELIUM REMOVAL AND LNAME ON RESPONSES OF RAT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY TO α-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONISTS

In this study we investigated the effects of endothelium removal and L-NAME on responses to α-adrenoceptor agonists. Male Wistar 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 ...
