Epinephrine Infusion in Man

Epinephrine infusion in man. Standardization, normal response, and abnormal response in idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.

on systolic time intervals in 14 normal subjects as a dose-response phenomenon. In order that we might examine the sensitivity of the test, it was applied in nine patients with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Normal subjects had a characteristic response-a progressive shortening of the duration of electromechanical systole, left ventricular ejection time, and pre-ejection period. Th...

Epinephrine-induced insulin resistance in man.

Endogenous release of epinephrine after stress as well as exogenous epinephrine infusion are known to result in impaired glucose tolerance. Previous studies of man and animals have demonstrated that this effect of epinephrine results from inhibition of insulin secretion and augmentation of hepatic glucose production. However, the effect of epinephrine on tissue sensitivity to insulin, and the r...

Influence of Epinephrine Infusion and Transportation Before Slaughter on Proteases Activity in Rabbit Muscles

The objective of the present study was to determine if modifications would occur due to epinephrine perfusion and simulating stressful situations (2 µg/ kg/ min, an animal)and transportation,causing change of the values of extractable protein concentrations, SDS PAGE profiles and the calpain calpastatin complex in silver rabbit longissimus muscles resulting in consequent changes in meat tendern...

Accidental intravenous bolus infusion of potassium chloride in a young man with hypokalemic periodic paralysis

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is anautosomal dominantdisease characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis with a matching fall in blood potassium levels. Paralysis attacks often occur in adolescence and are induced by strenuous exercise followed by rest, high carbohydrateor high sodiummeal content, sudden changes in temperature, and even excitement, noise, flashing lights and cold temperature...
