Effect of propranolol on the ventilatory response to hypercapnia in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The effect of a single oral dose of propranolol on the ventilatory response to hypercapnia has been studied in five healthy subjects. 2. Propranolol produced a small but significant reduction in the slope of the ventilation/end-tidal PCO2 regression line. 3. Propranolol did not significantly change vital capacity or forced expiratory volume in 1 s.

Propranolol and the ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia in normal man.
1. The effect on respiration of a single dose of propranolol has been studied in normal subjects. 2. The degree of beta-adrenoreceptor blockade was assessed in terms of the impaired heart-rate response to progressive exercise and the plasma propranolol concentration. 3. No effect of propranolol was demonstrated on either the ventilatory response to rebreathing CO2 in hyperoxia, or the response ...

The β2-adrenergic effects of macerated extract, aqueous extract, ethanol extract, and essential oil of Carum copticum, 5 nM propranolol, and saline were tested by performing cumulative Log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline-induced relaxation of precontracted isolated guinea pig tracheal chains in three different conditions including: non-incubated (group 1, n=9) incubated with 1...
متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO HYPERCAPNIA AND VARYING LEVELS OF ARTERIAL pH IN THE ANESTHETIZED CAT
Effects of acute hypercapnia on the cardiovascular system (CYS) were studied in the anesthetized cat. After surgery the animal was exposed to a gas mixture of 12% CO2 and 25% O2 in nitrogen, and hypercapnia with low levels of arterial pH (pHa) was produced for 20 minutes. In the second run the same level of hypercapnia was induced by ventilating the same cat from the above gas mixture but ...
متن کاملIncreased ventilatory response to carbon dioxide in COPD patients following vitamin C administration
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have decreased ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to hypercapnia. Antioxidants increase the ventilatory response to hypercapnia in healthy humans. Cerebral blood flow is an important determinant of carbon dioxide/hydrogen ion concentration at the central chemoreceptors and may be affected by antioxidants. It is unknown whether an...
متن کاملLong Acting Propranolol and HSP-70 Rich Tumor Lysate Reduce Tumor Growth and Enhance Immune Response against Fibrosarcoma in Balb/c Mice
Background: Noradrenaline (NA), the principal neurotransmitter released from sympathetic nerve terminals, influences T-cell maturation, not only directly in developing T cells, but also indirectly, by acting on the thymic nonlymphoid cells. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, antiangiogenic and cytotoxic properties of propranolol, β-AR blocker,...
