title: [Serum myoglobin level as a criterion of the effectiveness of adrenergic beta receptor blockaders].
abstract: The study was undertaken to examine 20 healthy subjects and 20 patients with Stages I and II hypertensive disease (all being males) under psycho-emotional stress (PES). In terms of relationships between blood pressure values, heart rate, and serum myoglobin (Mb) levels, it was concluded that PES caused various degrees of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoreceptor activation. Exposing the same patients treated with obsidan to PES revealed more pronounced values and responsiveness of diastolic pressure in a subgroup of patients showing simultaneously a dramatic decrease in Mb levels, which is indicative of alpha-adrenoreceptor activation after beta 2-receptor blockade. It was proposed to apply an index of decreased Mb levels during obsidan therapy as a measure of beta 2-adrenoreceptor blockade.
