Effects of dihydroergotamine on the microcirculation of the rat cremaster muscle were investigated microscopically using colour photographic technique. 1. Dihydroergotamine 10(-4) g/ml constricted arterioles of the rat cremaster. 2. Dihydroergotamine 10(-4) g/ml produced a significant contraction of venules. 3. Dihydroergotamine 10(-4) g/ml markedly inhibited the contractile response of noradrenaline 10(-6) g/ml on arterioles of the rat cremaster. The results suggest that dihydroergotamine has an appreciable vasoconstrictive action, especially upon venules, and that dihydroergotamine also has an adrenergic alpha-receptor blocking action. By means of highly sensitive negative colour film we obtained a satisfactory photograph of the rat cremaster's circulation.

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.
