Effects of noradrenaline and acetylcholine on ureteral peristalsis. 1983

T Morita, and T Suzuki, and S Kondo, and S Tsuchida

Experiments in vitro were performed to compare effects of noradrenaline and acetylcholine on the pyeloureter, both of which activate ureteral peristalsis. Noradrenaline elevated the baseline renal pressure to accelerate the ureteral peristalic pace in a ratio of 1:1 with the pacemaker discharge at the pelvicalyceal border (PC-border). Acetylcholine also accelerated the ureteral pace for a short time, as compared with the effect of noradrenaline. The baseline renal pelvic pressure dropped after administration of acetylcholine. Noradrenaline a little quickened the rhythm of the pacemaker contraction at the PC-border, and acetylcholine also quickened the pacemaker rhythm. These data suggest that noradrenaline and acetylcholine, which both activate pelviureteral peristalsis, exert different effects on pelvic pressure.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
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.
