title: [Adaptation of the peripheral organs of rats to noradrenaline deficiency following chronic desympathization].
abstract: In 3--week guanetidine--desympathized rats, the noradrenaline (NA) concentration in myocardium, small intestine and ductus deferens constituted 1, 6 and 3% of the control, resp., whereas release of the NA from the ductus deferens on transmural stimulation dropped to 3%. From 4 to 16--week age the NA content in myocardium and small intestine reached 30 and 23%, resp., and its release was equal to control. The diminishing of NA content was followed by augmented adrenaline--sensitivity and diminished cholinosensitivity of the organs under study. Significance of local adaptive mechanisms for normalizing of activity of the adrenergic nervous system under conditions of desympathization, is considered.
