title: [The reactivity of postsynaptic alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoreceptors and arterial pressure in acute pancreatitis].
abstract: Experiments were conducted on pithed rats with acute pancreatitis and on falsely operated on animals (ether-laparotomy stress) to study the reactivity of vascular alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoreceptors and its role in changes in arterial pressure. Selective change in the reactivity of alpha 2-adrenoceptors alone was revealed in both groups. Stable reduction of vascular alpha 2-adrenergic reactivity (by 57-58%) and arterial pressure was recorded in animals with acute pancreatitis. In falsely operated on animals, in contrast, the values of these indices exceeded the control level. In animals with a functioning central nervous system inhibition of alpha 2-adrenergic reactivity correlated with change in arterial pressure only in the initial (3-4 hours) hemorrhagic phase of acute pancreatitis.
