[Effects of a hypocaloric protein diet on changes in arterial pressure produced by adrenaline infusion].
In 9 obese patients, epinephrine infusion (10 microgram/min) did not significantly modify the mean arterial blood pressure (MBP) in basal conditions. This infusion reduced MBP (-7 mm Hg, p less than 0.05) after 13 days of protein-supplemented fasting. This difference in the cardio-vascular reactivity to circulatory epinephrine could contribute to the decrease in the arterial blood pressure observed during protein-supplemented fasting.
