[The influence of propranolol, practolol and theophylline on the plasma renin activity (author's transl)]. 1975

J Zehner, and D Klaus, and F Klumpp, and R Lemke

The stimulating effect of theophylline on the plasma renin activity (PRA) under beta-receptor blockade by propranolol or practolol was investigated in 27 patients with essential hypertension of degree I-II. After propranolol and also practolol PRA decreased about thirty per cent of the basal value, increased however by the factor of 2 to 3 after application of theophylline, in spite of the blockade of the beta-receptors indicated by a slight decrease of systolic blood pressure and heart rate. The effect of propranolol and practolol on the basal PRA was not different. Our results show the possibility, to stimulate renin secretion despite blockade of beta receptors by propranolol or practolol, respectively.

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
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011217 Practolol A beta-1 adrenergic antagonist that has been used in the emergency treatment of CARDIAC ARRYTHMIAS. Dalzic,Eralzdin Practolol,ICI-50172,ICI 50172,ICI50172,Practolol, Eralzdin
D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
