The cardiovascular effects of dexmedetomidine alone or in combination with atropine were studied in six cats. Cats underwent four treatments in a randomized crossover design as follows: DEX15, saline+dexmedetomidine 15microg/kg; DEX30, saline+dexmedetomidine 30microg/kg; ADEX15, atropine+dexmedetomidine 15microg/kg; ADEX30, atropine+dexmedetomidine 30microg/kg. Pulse rate (PR) and systolic arte...

To evaluate the neural regulation of postprandial somatostatin release we studied the effect of blockade of (a) alpha-adrenergic and beta-adrenergic and (b) cholinergic receptors on the plasma somatostatin, gastrin and insulin responses to a standard meal in two groups of five fasting healthy male volunteers. Thymoxamine (0.1 mg/kg iv over two minutes then 10 mg/hour for two hours) and proprano...

Using G.29.505 the incidence of excitatory phenomena occurring after premedication with atropine and opiate was insignificantly different from that after atropine alone, whereas after hyoscine it was three times as high. Respiratory disturbances were significantly less frequent when an opiate was used with atropine than after atropine or hyoscine alone. G.29.505 was compared with nitrous oxide ...
