title: [The characteristics of the reactions of intact and sympathectomized microvessels of the rabbit mesentery to catecholamines].
abstract: The sensitivity of smooth muscle cells' adrenoreceptors to noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) was studied in intact and desympathised arterial microvessels of the rabbit mesentery. The arterioles differed from each other in their sensitivity to catecholamines depending on their diameter. However, in conditions of chemical desympathisation, the sensitivity to NA and DA increased in all the microvessels whereas the degree of narrowing of the microvessels' lumen remained practically the same. These findings suggest a heterogeneous character of physiological properties of vascular smooth muscle cells within the arterial part of the microcirculatory module of the rabbit mesentery.
