Histochemical study of the adrenergic innervation of the heart of rabbits in experimental myocardial infarction showed that the content and distribution of the mediator noradrenaline in the nerve terminals under-goes essential changes. The amount of mediator in the nerve fibers decreases not only in the zone of the infarct but also in the heart areas not involved in the infarction, particularly in the left ventricle. Changes in the fluorescence of the nerve terminals associated with redistribution of the mediator in them are described. The disorders revealed in the sympathetic nerve apparatus of the heart provide evidence that in myocardial infarction the heart reacts as a single whole; these changes may aggravate the course of the infarction. Intravenous nitroglycerin administration helps to preserve the mediator in the nerve terminals, which is regarded as a favourable effect of the drug.

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.
