title: [A study on changes of adrenergic receptors and their clinical significance in the lung of rats with respiratory distress syndrome].
abstract: The Bmax of value of beta receptors in membrane prepared from lung tissue of ARDS rats were remarkably decreased (P < 0.01) after 4h of injury (307 +/- 55fmol/mg protein) and 6h (240 +/- 66fmol/mg protein) as compared with that of control (490 +/- 61fmol/mg protein), whereas that of the alpha 1 receptors was increased markedly (P < 0.01) after 4h of injury (127 +/- 12fmol/mg protein) as compared with that of the control (83 +/- 7fmol/mg protein). In anisodamine treatment group, the Bmax of beta receptor (529 +/- 113) and content of cAMP was higher significantly (P < 0.01) than that of the untreated group. The activity of PLA2 in the lung tissue is remarkably lower (146 +/- 25U) than that of untreated group (P < 0.01). The present study showed the first time the imbalance between alpha and beta adrenoceptors in the lung of rat with ARDS, and confirmed that anisodamine has a role of regulation of beta receptor, cAMP and PLA2 in the lung of RDS rat.
