The present study examined changes in [3H]prazosin, [125I]iodocyanopindolol and [3H]nitrendipine binding to alpha 1- and beta 1-adrenergic receptors and Ca2+ binding sites of cardiac muscle isolated from fetal Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), using the radioligand binding assay method. The catecholamine concentration in the cardiac muscle of both groups was also determined. The Bmax values in beta 1-adrenoceptors and Ca2+ binding sites in SHR cardiac muscle were lower than those of WKY, but values for SHR alpha 1-adrenoceptors were higher than those of WKY. The Kd values of beta 1-adrenoceptors in cardiac muscles of SHRs were also lower than those of WKY. On the other hand, there were no differences between the catecholamine concentrations in fetal SHR and WKY cardiac muscles. Thus, significant differences in both alpha 1- and beta 1-adrenoceptors and Ca2+ binding sites were already present in fetal SHR hearts, thus suggesting that the changes in fetal hearts of SHRs may be caused by genetic defects in the mother rats at early age.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008566 Membranes Thin layers of tissue which cover parts of the body, separate adjacent cavities, or connect adjacent structures. Membrane Tissue,Membrane,Membrane Tissues,Tissue, Membrane,Tissues, Membrane
D009124 Muscle Proteins The protein constituents of muscle, the major ones being ACTINS and MYOSINS. More than a dozen accessory proteins exist including TROPONIN; TROPOMYOSIN; and DYSTROPHIN. Muscle Protein,Protein, Muscle,Proteins, Muscle
D009568 Nitrendipine A calcium channel blocker with marked vasodilator action. It is an effective antihypertensive agent and differs from other calcium channel blockers in that it does not reduce glomerular filtration rate and is mildly natriuretic, rather than sodium retentive.

D010869 Pindolol A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638) Prindolol,LB-46,Visken,LB 46,LB46

D011942 Receptors, Adrenergic, alpha One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.
