[Effect of activation of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, M-cholinergic receptors and H1-histamine receptors on mechanical tension in the frog subclavian vein]
Abstract
The effects of adrenaline, noradrenaline, isoproterenol, dopamine, histamine, acetylcholine, and serotonin on the wall tension in the isolated frog subclavian vein and modification of these effects by appropriate antagonists were examined. The existence of alpha- and beta-adreno-, M-choline- and H1-histamine receptors was demonstrated. Stimulation of alpha-adreno- and H1-histamine receptors augments and that of beta-adreno- and M-cholinoreceptors diminishes active wall tension in the vein.
