title: [Nature of alpha receptors implicated in the hypertensive effect of high doses of isoprenaline in dogs and rats].
abstract: Isoproterenol injected intravenously in dogs (3 mg/kg-1) and rats (5 mg/kg-1) induced an increase in blood pressure. After alpha 1 blockade (by AR-C 239, 0.1 mg . kg-1 i.v.) or alpha 2 blockade (by yohimbine, 1 mg/kg-1 i.v.) isoproterenol, as adrenaline, again induced an increase in blood pressure. This hypertensive effect was suppressed by an alpha 2 adrenoceptor blocking agent after an alpha 1 adrenoceptor blocking agent, and vice versa. These results are compatible with stimulation by high doses of isoproterenol of both alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoceptors to produce increase in blood pressure.
