β- and α2-Adrenoceptor Control of Vascular Tension and Catecholamine Release in Female Normotensive and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Abstract: As in humans, young, female, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have a lower blood pressure than male SHR. In male, normotensive rats (WKY), α2- and β1+2-adrenoceptors (AR) reciprocally controlled catecholamine release and vascular smooth muscle tension. This interaction was malfunctioning in male SHR. The present study analyzed if a favorable shift in the α2/β1+2AR interaction may represent an antihypertensive protection in females. Female SHR (early hypertension, 12–14 weeks) and age-matched WKY were infu… Show more

“…Selective α2-AMs don't produce true arrhythmogenic effect (defined as a decrease in average effective dose of adrenaline for ventricular arrhythmias). In contrast, dexmedetomidine administered intramuscularly causes an increase of the effective dose of adrenaline for ventricular arrhythmias [33].…”

“…This is likely to lead to selection bias and thereby not ensuring that the results are representative for the population as a whole. A case in point is that young, female SHR have a lower BP than male SHR ( 99 ). CVD has been regarded as a men’s disease for decades, but it is actually more prevalent in postmenopausal women ( 100 ).…”
