[Adrenergic regulation and adrenoreactivity of the rat heart during adaptation to altitude hypoxia]. 1977

M G Pshennikova, and N A Novikova

Male albino rats were adapted to 6 km "altitude" in barocamber. Responses of their hearts in open chest and on artificial respiration to noradrenaline and propranolol were studied. Values of the heart contractory function were by 32-140% higher in experimental animals than in control those. This excess could be eliminated by propranolol which shows it to be due to exaggerated effect of the adrenergic regulatory link. Adrenaline raises the heart function almost up to the maximal limit in adapted animals. This is followed by an increased rate of disappearance of the noradrenaline inotropic effect.

Heart Contractility,Inotropism, Cardiac,Cardiac Inotropism,Cardiac Inotropisms,Contractilities, Heart,Contractility, Heart,Contraction, Myocardial,Contractions, Myocardial,Heart Contractilities,Inotropisms, Cardiac,Myocardial Contractions
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.
