Increased peripheral release of noradrenaline and uptake of adrenaline in essential hypertension?
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Twenty middle-aged men with untreated sustained essential hypertension for more than 5 years and 19 comparable normotensive controls were investigated. Both groups were derived from The Oslo Study, where they had served as control hypertensive and normotensive subjects. 2. Supine venous and arterial plasma catecholamines were increased in the hypertensive subjects compared with the normotensive subjects. The mean arterial--venous difference for adrenaline in the hypertensive (0.45 +/- SE 0.08 nmol/l) was increased compared with the normotensive group (0.27 +/- 0.03 nmol/l, P less than 0.05). Similarly, the venous--arterial difference for noradrenaline was increased in the hypertensive (0.29 +/- 0.13 nmol/l, P less than 0.05) compared with the normotensive group (-0.07 +/- 0.11 nmol/l). 3. The results are consistent with an increased release of adrenaline from the adrenal medulla and noradrenaline from the peripheral vascular beds (forearm) in essential hypertension. The increased arterial--venous difference for adrenaline in the hypertensive group also suggests an increased uptake of adrenaline in the peripheral vascular beds.

Plasma adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine concentrations and plasma renin activity were measured in the supine position and after standing for 10 minutes in 14 patients with sustained benign essential hypertension and in five patients with labile hypertension.

متن کاملPlasma adrenaline: relations to blood pressure, blood platelet function and blood lipids in essential hypertension.
For various reasons plasma catecholamines should be measured in arterial blood when comparing hypertensive and normotensive groups (1, 2). Measurements of plasma catecholamines in peripheral venous blood may conceal important hypertensive-normotensive differences (2). Plasma catecholamines seem to be subjected to a peripheral arterialvenous fractional extraction of approximately 50%. Thus, arte...
متن کاملChronic alpha-1-adrenergic blockade increases sympathoneural but not adrenomedullary activity in patients with essential hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Doxazosin, a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist, lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance without causing reflex tachycardia. To discover whether antihypertensive treatment with an alpha1-adrenoceptor blocker is accompanied by an increase in sympathoadrenomedullary activity, we studied plasma catecholamine kinetics before and during treatment with doxazos...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which have the ability to differentiate into various types of blood cell lines, are usually separate from the bone marrow. But these cells are also present in a small amount in the peripheral blood, and their amounts increase in blood following injection of G-CSF. However, the mechanism involved in moving HSCs under the influence of G-CSF is unknown. The aim of ...
