The Nature of Pressor Substances in Pheoclromocytomas
نویسنده
چکیده
The actions of aqueous extracts of two pheochromocytomas are compared before and after the administration of the adrenergic blocking agent, Dibenamine. One tumor contained predominantly a substance which, like norepinephrine, had pressor actions after Dibenamine. The other tumor contained chiefly an epinephrine-like substance. The significance of the presence of norepine)hrine in pheochromocytomas and its role in epinephrine metabolism are discussed.

Hypertensin is a pressor polypeptide which may be important in renal hypertension (1). It is formed by the action of renin on a plasma globulin (2). Attempts to obtain a related substance by using systems better adapted to preparative work were initially unpromising (2), but Croxatto et al. (3,4) later isolated “pepsitensin,” a pressor material, after incubation of pepsin with several proteins....
متن کاملRelationship between serum methadone concentration and cold pressor pain sensitivity in patients undergoing methadone maintenance therapy
Hyperalgesia is a common clinical phenomenon among opioid dependent patients on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) and it may be associated with undertreated pain and/or therapeutic failure. This study aimed to investigate association between serum methadone concentration (SMC) and cold pressor pain responses. Cold pressor pain responses in 147 opioid dependent patients on MMT were assessed us...

متن کاملThe Etiology of Hypertension Due to Complete Renal Ischemia
1. Perfusates of totally ischemic kidneys of cats contain a pressor substance which is not present in the perfusates of normal kidneys, ischemic hind limbs, or ischemic gravid uteri. 2. The pressor material in ischemic renal perfusates originates directly in the kidney as a result of complete ischemia. 3. The pressor principle contained in ischemic renal perfusates is the cause of the hypertens...
متن کاملThe Effects of Human New Pressor Protein and Coagulation Factor XIIa on Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Bilaterally Nephrectomized Rats
Background: New Pressor Protein (NPP) is a human plasma enzyme structurally related to b–fragment of activated factor XІІ (β-FXIIa). The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of NPP and β-FXIIa on systolic blood pressure and heart rate in bilateral nephrectomized rats. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were sham-operated or bilaterally nephrectomized under anes...
