title: In vitro characterization of adrenergic receptors mediating extrusion of preformed sebum from preputial gland of rat.
abstract: Extrusion of preformed sebum from the preputial glands of rat after phenylephrine and adrenaline treatment, and its inhibition by alpha-receptor blocking agents under in vitro conditions, shows that secretory response of the glands is influenced by alpha-adrenergic receptors, and isoproterenol--a beta-agonist--is not effective in elicitation of exudation of secretion from the preputial gland.
