چکیده

1. The interactions of dopamine, reserpine and methyldopa on blood pressure of normal subjects and of those with essential hypertension were examined. 2. When biosynthesis of noradrenaline from dopamine was blocked by reserpine, dopamine induced a prominent depressor effect in essential hypertension. 3. The long-term treatment with methyldopa induced a marked potentiateion of the pressor action of domapine in hypertension, although no significant pressor response was found in normal subjects. 4. It is suggested that methylnoradrenaline may accumulate in peripheral nerve endings of patients with essential hypertension in comparison with normal subjects, and this accumulated methylnoradrenaline potentiates the pressor response to dopamine in essential hypertension.

Contribution of Central Nervous System to Hypertension: role of Angiotensin II and Nitric Oxide

The contribution of the central nervous system (CNS) to the development and maintenance of high blood pressure is well established. Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system during hypertensive conditions has been demonstrated experimentally and clinically. Different types of dysregulation in CNS, as seen by alterations in neurotransmitter production and baroreceptor reflex function,...

Enhancement of blood pressure response to dopamine by angiotensin II.

The interaction of dopamine and angiotensin II (AII) on blood pressure and heart rate was studied in rats. The influence of reserpine pretreatment and vagotomy was also studied. Inbred rats anesthetized with urethane received intravenous (i.v.) doses of 50, 100, 200, or 400 micron g (per 100 g body weight) of dopamine HCI, before and after a single i.v. dose of 0.025 micron g of AII. The same d...

Intraperitoneal (IP) injection of bupropion (3,6, amine (4,16 mg kg•') induced dose-dependent climbing in mice. The climbing response induced by both drugs were decreased in animals pretreated either with the 0-1 antagonist SCH 233<)0 or the 0-2 antagonist sulpiride. The α-adrenoceptor blocker phenoxybenzamine decreased the climbing induced by both bupropion and amphetamine, but the β-ad...
