title: Fluidity of cadaveric blood after sudden death: Part II. Mechanism of release of plasminogen activator from blood vessels.
abstract: Experiments by the vascular perfusion technique in isolated hind leg of the dog showed that after addition of various vasoactive drugs to the perfusate, fibrinolytic activity (plasminogen activator level) of the effluent was elevated. The effects of the drugs were completely inhibited only by the specific blocker of their receptor on the vascular wall. High K+ level of the perfusate also induced abundant release of plasminogen activator from the vascular wall.
