BACKGROUND
Hypoxia and halothane are both known to have different effects on the release and disposition of norepinephrine at sympathetic nerve terminals during neurotransmission. In adverse clinical situations, both conditions may be present, but the effects of halothane and hypoxia together are
The present experiments were carried out in isolated rat hearts perfused according to the Langendorff method at a constant pressure of 10 kPa. The aim was to measure norepinephrine (NE) overflow and its deaminated metabolite dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG) by changing the composition of the buffer
The effects of both bolus injection and constant infusion of various levels of norepinephrine (NE) on the activity of single-carotid chemoreceptor nerve fibers was studied in pentobarbital-anaesthetized rabbits under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. All animals were paralyzed and artificially
The fluorescent calcium indicator, fura 2, was used to test whether contraction of primary cultured smooth muscle cells (SMC) from small pulmonary arteries in response to hypoxia and the relaxation by large pulmonary and cerebral artery SMC were mediated by changes in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ (Ca2+c).
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effects of dobutamine and norepinephrine on the global cardiovascular response and on the relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2) and oxygen delivery (DO2) during an acute reduction in blood flow associated with tamponade.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, controlled acute
The effects of acute and chronic hypoxemia on norepinephrine-stimulated lipolysis were studied in dogs. Right-to-left shunts were created in experimental dogs to render them chronically hypoxemic (PaO2 37-55 torr). Control animals received sham operations (PaO2 greater than 70 torr). During air
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effects of hypoxia and hypoxic exercise (HE) on the norepinephrine levels of various tissues in rats.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: an HE group (n = 6), a hypoxic-sedentary (HS) group (n = 6), and a normoxic-sedentary (NS) group (n = 6). The
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) peptide release was activated by hypoxia in the rat hypothalamus. The mechanisms, however, of the hypoxia-induced CRF release remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the norepinephrine (NE) and its receptors in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN)
OBJECTIVE
We have previously found that chronic hypoxia inhibited thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) mRNA expression in rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN). This study presented the effects of hypoxia on TRH secretion in rat hypothalamus, and the norepinephrine (NE) involvement in the modulation of
The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives inputs from both arterial chemoreceptors and central noradrenergic neural structures activated during hypoxia. We investigated norepinephrine (NE) modulation of chemoreceptor afferent integration after a chronic exposure to sustained hypoxia (CSH)
Pulmonary extraction of radiolabeled norepinephrine (NE) was evaluated in newborn rabbits aged 1 to 3 days. Twenty pups were raised from birth in an hypoxic environment (FiO2 = 0.16-0.17) and 10 were raised in room air for study as controls. NE extraction was measured using an isolated, perfused
Interaction between the immune and neuroendocrine systems has long been noted. In the present study, the role of norepinephrine (NE) in immunoregulation of rats during simulated hypoxia in hypobaric chamber was examined. It was found that 7 km for 24 h of hypoxia inhibited T-lymphocyte proliferation
Neuronal networks are endogenously modulated by aminergic and peptidergic substances. These modulatory processes are critical for maintaining normal activity and adapting networks to changes in metabolic, behavioral, and environmental conditions. However, disturbances in neuromodulation have also
The influence of long-term hypoxia on noradrenergic cell groups in the brain stem was assessed by estimating the changes in norepinephrine (NE) turnover in A1, A2 (subdivided into anterior and posterior parts), A5, and A6 groups in rats exposed to hypoxia (10% O2-90% N2) for 14 days. The NE turnover
The role that second messengers play in pulmonary vasoconstriction is not understood. The purpose of this study was to directly measure inositol phosphates in isolated pulmonary arterial preparations before and during norepinephrine (NE) stimulation and acute hypoxia. Rat main pulmonary arteries
