title: Analysis of beta-adrenoceptors mediating renin release produced by isoproterenol in conscious dogs.
abstract: Types of beta-adrenoceptors mediating renin release induced by isoproterenol were investigated in conscious dogs. The nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs propranolol, D-32, and pindolol significantly inhibited increases in heart rate and plasma renin activity and a fall of blood pressure produced by intravenous infusion of isoproterenol (10 microgram . kg-1 . 20 min-1). d-Propranolol and d-D-32 did not inhibit these three responses to isoproterenol. The selective beta 1-adrenoceptor blocking drug atenolol, at the oral dose of 6 mg/kg, which selectively suppressed isoproterenol-induced tachycardia, significantly inhibited the renin release caused by isoproterenol. By contrast, the renin release induced by isoproterenol was not modified by the selective beta 2-adrenoceptor blocking drug IPS-339 at an oral dose of 3 mg/kg, which fully and selectively antagonized the fall of blood pressure in response to isoproterenol. There was good correlation between suppression of isoproterenol-induced renin release and that of isoproterenol-induced tachycardia after various beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs. These results lead to the conclusion that in conscious dogs the beta-adrenoceptors mediating release are mainly of the beta 1 type.
