Influence of hypothyroid status on dopamine-induced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on isolated rat atria. 1982

A Hirano, and H Hashimoto, and M Nakashima

The involvement of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors in dopamine (DA)-induced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects was investigated in isolated atria from euthyroid and hypothyroid rats. Propranolol at 3 x 10(-7) M remarkably inhibited the positive chronotropic effect of DA in both euthyroid and hypothyroid rats, and 1 x 10(-6) M phentolamine inhibited the effects of DA in the presence of propranolol in hypothyroid rats. Propranolol remarkably inhibited the positive inotropic effect of DA in both euthyroid and hypothyroid rats, while phentolamine was effective only in hypothyroid rats. In atria from reserpinized rats, the pD2-values for DA in both chronotropic and inotropic effects were reduced, but effectiveness of propranolol or phentolamine on DA-induced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects in euthyroid and hypothyroid rats was similar to that in non-reserpinized rats. In hypothyroid rats, DA increased the maximal rate of tension development, which was inhibited by both phentolamine and propranolol. DA shortened the duration of contraction. DA in the presence of phentolamine significantly shortened the duration of contraction but did not in the presence of propranolol. In conclusion the DA-induced positive chronotropic effect is mainly produced by beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in both euthyroid and hypothyroid rats, and also by a alpha-adrenoceptors to some extent in hypothyroid rats. The DA-induced positive inotropic effect is produced by alpha- as well as beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in both groups. However, alpha-adrenoceptors were involved to a greater extent in hypothyroid rats than in euthyroid rats. The stimulation of alpha-adrenoceptors by DA causes an increase in the maximal rate of tension development without a significant change in the duration of contraction, and the stimulation of beta-adrenoceptors by DA causes an increase in the maximal rate of tension development and shortening of the duration of contraction.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007037	Hypothyroidism	A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.

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.

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.

D012110	Reserpine	An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.

D004298	Dopamine	One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
