title: [Changes in the contraction of the smooth muscle of the rat portal vein during emotional stress].
abstract: Effect of emotional/painful stress on contractile function and adrenoreactivity of rat portal vein was examined. Tension developed by portal vein of stress-exposed animals was shown to be reduced 8-fold as compared to that of the controls; tension development and relaxation velocities were decreased 4.4- and 6-fold, respectively. The changes were accompanied by a significant decrease in stress-exposed animals' venous response to norepinephrine and by enhanced sensitivity to calcium shortage and glucose depletion in washing solutions. Possible stress-induced damage of calcium-transport membrane mechanism and its role in the occurrence of arterial hypovolemia are discussed.
