Effects of beta adrenergic blocking agents on erythropoietin production in rabbits exposed to hypoxia. 1975

G D Fink, and L G Paulo, and J W Fisher

The effects of dl-propranolol, d-propranolol, butoxamine or practolol on erythropoietin (ESF) production in rabbits exposed to hypoxia (0.42 atmosphere) for 18 hours were investigated. Rabbits treated with dl-propranolol (4 or 8 mg/kg i.p.) or butoxamine (15 or 30 mg/kg i.p.) produced significantly less ESF in response to hypoxia than did saline-treated control animals. ESF production in rabbits given d-propranolol or practolol during hypoxia was not significantly different from that of control animals exposed to hypoxia. Based on the proposed selectivity of butoxamine for beta2 adrenergic receptors and of practolol for beta1 adrenergic receptors, it is suggested that ESF production in rabbits exposed to hypoxia may involve the activation of beta2 adrenergic receptors.

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.
