title: [Influence of a pressure agent on blood concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and free fatty acids (author's transl)].
abstract: In 34 unselected patients blood concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and free fatty acids (FFA) were determined after i.v. injection of a pressure agent containing theophylline esterified with norephedrine and theophylline esterified with norepinephrine (Akrinor) with and without beta-adrenergic blockade. After Akrinor a significant increase of FFA concentration of 32% is observed, which can be abolished by beta-receptor blocking agents. Our findings indicate that the Akrinor-induced lipolysis is mainly due to a direct sympathomimetic effect on the beta-receptors of adipose tissue. there are only slight effects on carbohydrate metabolism (decrease of pyruvate concentration, increase of lactate/pyruvate ratio) which are not influenced by beta-receptor blockade. According to our results there are important metabolic differences between Akrinor and the classical catecholamines.
