Summary
In the rabbit jejunum, the elevation of temperature within the range of 25–37°C diminished the sensitivity to noradrenaline (NA) for both the relaxation and amplitude inhibition. The relaxation by NA was mainly mediated via adrenergic β-receptors at 25, 30 or 37°C. The amplitude inhibition was mediated via α-receptors at 37°C, and both α- and β-receptors at 30 or 25°C.
