    JapaneseCiiculationSociety 474were divided into 2 grDups in which systolic LVP decreased grenter than 20t o[ that befoie ligatlon (D group} and dtd not (ND group}.Biochemical analysis of sarcoplasmtc rettculum (SR) and measurements of t ±ssue levels of ATP, lactate and pyruvate were performed togethev wtth ultrastructural observation of anyocardial cells in subendo {Endo) and subepicardial muscles (Epi}.In ischemic myocardium Ca-stimulated ATPase activity and major ATPase of SR, and tissue ATP level greatly decreased, accompanied by an increase in lactate as ±n previous reports.In non-ischemic myocardiurn of D group Ca-stimulated ATPase activity reduced significantly to 55 and 5al of those oi in Endo and Epi, respectively, and u]trastructural changes were iound to be Iittle in non-ischemic myocardial cells of D gioup.These results indtcate that metabolie changes take place in non-ischemic myocardium, especia!ly in Endo, under

    Age-related changes in alpha 1-, alpha 2-, and beta-catecholamine receptors on membrane of rat epididymal fat cells were investigated. Both young (6 weeks old, weight about 190 g) and aged (20 weeks old, weight about 490 g) Sprague-Dawley male rats were used. For the alpha 1-adrenoceptor binding experiment, we developed a novel analytical method using the hydrophilic alpha 1-receptor selective antagonist, [3H]bunazosin. The binding of [3H]bunazosin to its binding sites was rapid, reversible, saturable, and stereospecific. Scatchard binding analysis showed a single class of binding site. The sites were characterized as alpha 1-adrenoceptors by inhibition experiments using various agonists and antagonists. The number of maximum binding sites (Bmax) of alpha 1-receptor binding was 37.0 +/- 6.5 (young) versus 24.0 +/- 3.2 (aged) fmol/mg protein (P less than 0.01). [3H]Rauwolscine and [3H]CGP-12177 were used for alpha 2- and beta-receptor binding, respectively. In alpha 2-receptor detection using [3H]rauwolscine as a ligand, Bmax increased markedly from 19.8 +/- 4.9 to 86.2 +/- 19.5 fmol/mg protein (P less than 0.01). In contrast, Bmax for beta-receptor decreased from 69.7 +/- 9.7 to 45.4 +/- 13.9 fmol/mg protein with increasing rat age (P less than 0.05). Kd showed no change in each of the binding experiments between young and aged rats. The cell volume increased from 0.07 +/- 0.02 to 0.15 +/- 0.06 nl. It is implied that anti-lipolytic activity strengthened on the whole mainly with the marked increase of alpha 2-receptor number and decrease of beta-receptor number.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

    Adrenergic influence on iris pigmentation in newborn pigmented rabbits was studied. Selective adrenergic antagonists were used topically to determine whether they could inhibit iris pigmentation. Unilateral, topical administration of an alpha-adrenergic antagonist (thymoxamine hydrochloride 1/2%) was not associated with iris hypochromia. Adrenergic influence on iris stromal melanogenesis appears to be mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptors.

    The beta-adrenergic receptor system plays an important role in modulating heart function.A large body of research shows that the heart function changes following ischemia-reperfusion injury were closely correlated with the beta-adrenergic receptor system.
