It is shown on isolated aorta preparations that prolonged gamma-irradiation of rats results in depression of endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilatation responses to beta-adrenoceptors stimulation by isoprenaline and M-cholinoceptors by carbachol.

D011943	Receptors, Adrenergic, beta	One of two major pharmacologically defined classes of adrenergic receptors. The beta adrenergic receptors play an important role in regulating CARDIAC MUSCLE contraction, SMOOTH MUSCLE relaxation, and GLYCOGENOLYSIS.

D005260	Female		Females
D005720	Gamma Rays	Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
