Transient hypotension in the cat induced by gallamine.
نویسنده
چکیده
WHILE investigating certain aspects of the neuromuscular blocking properties of gallamine in cats it was observed that in some animals the intravenous injection of small quantities of the drug was followed by a transient hypotension. As any activity displayed by a drug in the experimental animal may also reveal itself in clinical practice (Paton, 1959) it seemed desirable to examine this phenomenon more closely. In a series of twenty cats hypotension occurred on four occasions. Characteristically the fall in

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS AND SEVERE HYPOTENSION: INFLUENCE ON SURVIVAL TIME AND SHOCK PERIOD DURING HEMORRHAGE IN THE CAT
Metabolic acidosis and severe hypotension are the main causes of irreversibility during hemorrhagic shock. The influence of these two factors on durations of shock period and survival time were studied in four groups of anesthetized cats. In group I the animals were made hypotensive by reducing mean arterial blood pressure (Pa) to 45 mmHg with concurrent metabolic acidosis. [n group II the ...
متن کاملEffect of Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism on Oxidative Stress in Cardiac Tissue of Adult Male Rats
Introduction: Increased oxidative stress is involved in the pathology of cardiovascular disease. Transient congenital hypothyroidism (TCH) leads to a variety of heart disorders during adulthood. In this study, the effect of TCH on antioxidant and oxidant systems in the serum and left cardiac ventricle of adult male rats was investigated. Materials and Methods: TCH was induced by administrating ...

BROWN, BURNELL R., JR. AND J. RICHARD CROUT: The sympathomimetic effect of gallamine on the heart. J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 172: 266-273, 1970. The quaternary ammonium neuromuscular blocking drug, gallamine, was found to increase the rate and contractile force of guinea-pig and cat atria in vitro; cardiac rate and right ventricular contractile force were also increased in vivo in the anesthetiz...
متن کاملCardiovascular Effect of Dorsal Periaqueductal Gray During Lipopolysaccharide-induced Hypotension
Introduction: The central mechanism related to the cardiovascular response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hypotension is not entirely known, but it is suggested that numerous brain areas such as dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) are involved in this process. In the current work, the cardiovascular effect of the dPAG during LPS-induced hypotension is investigated. Methods: The study animal...
متن کاملInhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Reduces Cerebral Infarction Size in Experimental-Induced Focal Cerebral Ischemia in the Rat
Background: The role of Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) in ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries is not fully elucidated. Furthermore, it is not clear whether inhibition of RAS by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors has beneficial effects in terms of protecting the brain from I/R injuries. In this study enalapril is used as an ACE inhibitor to evaluate the role of RAS in I/R injuries in...
