Ability of glucagon to produce cardiac stimulation without arrhythmias in halothane-anaesthetized animals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cardiovascular effects of glucagon were determined in cats and dogs anaesthetized with halothane. Glucagon increased heart rate and myocardial contractility but did not produce ventricular arrhythmias. Adrenaline and isoprenaline, which also increased heart rate and myocardial contractility, did produce ventricular arrhythmias. The cardiac stimulant effects of glucagon were not prevented by beta-adrenergic blockade while those of adrenaline and isoprenaline were.

Selective adrenergic beta-receptor blockade in the prevention of adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias in dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen.
The effect of selective beta-receptor blockade on adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias was studied in atropinized dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen. Cardiac beta-receptors were selectively blocked with ICI 50172, while the peripheral vascular beta-receptors were selectively blocked with H 35/25. ICI 50172 prevented adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias and the increase in sin...
متن کاملModification of the cardiovascular effects of L-dopa by decarboxylase inhibitors.
Intravenously infused L-dopa (0.3 mg/kg per min) produced hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias in halothane anesthetized dogs. Biochemical studies showed that the heart, kidney, and brain of these animals accumulated significant amounts of catecholamines formed from the administered precursor. Pretreatment of dogs with an extracerebral inhibitor of dopa decarboxylase [D,L-alpha-hydrazino-alpha-...
متن کاملEffect of adrenergic beta-receptor blocker on epinephrine-induced cardiac arrhythmias during halothane anaesthesia.
RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS performed on animals indicate that halothane anaesthesia increases the sensitivity of the myocardial tissues to epinephrine. 1-s In man, ventricular arrhythmias may follow the use of the epinephrine. ~'7 This investigation was undertaken to study the usefulness of an adrenergic/3-receptor blocking agent (Pronethalol)f in preventing and/or correcting cardiac arrhythmias...
متن کاملEffect of oxprenolol on adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias in dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen.
The effect of oxprenolol (CIBA 39,089-Ba), a recently introduced adrenergic betareceptor antagonist, on adrenaline-evoked ventricular arrhythmias was studied in atropinized dogs anaesthetized with halothane in oxygen. The anti-arrhythmic activity of oxprenolol was due to specific blockade of beta-receptors. The block produced was surmountable in nature and larger doses of adrenaline re-evoked v...
متن کاملThe addition of nitrous oxide to halothane decreases renal and splanchnic flow and increases cerebral blood flow in rats.
Thirteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were anaesthetized with halothane and catheters were placed in the femoral artery and left ventricle. The animals breathed spontaneously through a tracheostomy throughout the investigation. After the surgical preparation, the inspired halothane concentration was maintained at 1.5 vol% (F/O2 = 0.3). After a 30-min stabilization period, strontium-85 radiolabelled...
