The pathophysiological relationships of a myocardial depressant factor (MDF) present in the plasma of cats in hemorrhagic shock were studied. Aprotinin (Trasylol), an inhibitor of a variety of proteases including kallikrein and trypsin, prolonged survival of cats in postoligemic shock as well as prevented the appearance of MDF in the plasma.

Central stimulant actions of 10 methylxanthines in mice correlate with affinities for adenosine receptors labeled with N6-[3H]cyclohexyladenosine. Affinities of methylxanthines for adenosine receptors are consonant with central levels attained at behaviorally effective doses. The much higher concentrations of methylxanthines required to influence benzodiazepine receptor binding do not correlate...
