In normotensive rats the effect of different doses of propranolol (1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg i.p.) and ketanserin (10.0 mg/kg p.o.) on mean blood pressure and heart rate and on cardiovascular response to noradrenaline (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 micrograms/kg i.v.) was examined. The drugs were given separately or together. Propranolol slightly reduced the hypotensive effect of ketanserin. On the other hand a decrease in heart rate caused by propranolol was not affected by ketanserin. Our results show that propranolol given with ketanserin did not change the effect of the latter on the cardiovascular system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007022 Hypotension Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients. Blood Pressure, Low,Hypotension, Vascular,Low Blood Pressure,Vascular Hypotension
D007650 Ketanserin A selective serotonin receptor antagonist with weak adrenergic receptor blocking properties. The drug is effective in lowering blood pressure in essential hypertension. It also inhibits platelet aggregation. It is well tolerated and is particularly effective in older patients. 3-(2-(4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidinol)ethyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione,R-41,468,R-41468,R 41,468,R 41468,R41,468,R41468

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

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.
