title: The effect of isoprenaline and propranolol on rat myocardial ornithine decarboxylase.
abstract: The intraperitoneal injection of isoprenaline in rats caused an increase in myocardial ornithine decarboxylase activity which reached a maximum of about four times the control value one hour after the injection. The intraperitoneal injection of dl-propranolol had no effect on myocardial ornithine decarboxylase activity. The  injection of dl-propranolol 30 min before the injection of isoprenaline almost completely prevented the effect of isoprenaline.
