title: The possible involvement of changes in phosphoinositol turnover in the responses of renal sodium transport to noradrenaline.
abstract: Noradrenaline stimulated the formation of [3H]inositol monophosphates from 3H-inositol-phospholipids in rat kidney cortex slices. This response was inhibited by the alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin but not by the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine, suggesting that the response was mediated via an alpha 1-adrenoceptor. This is in keeping with the ability of noradrenaline to increase sodium transport in this tissue by alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation.
