Susceptibility of thermoregulatory responses to cold to blockage of α1- and β-adrenoreceptors differs in health and hypertension. α1-Adrenoceptor blockade reduces vessel reactivity during cooling and vessel reaction to cold becomes similar to that in intact normotensive rats. Changes in the structure of metabolic response to cold in favor of non-shivering thermogenesis typical of hypertensive animals becomes even more pronounced under conditions of α1-adrenoceptor blockade due to inhibition of cold shivering. Blockage of β-adrenoceptors does not affect parameters of vascular response to cooling. In hypertensive rats, in contrast to normotensive animals, β-adrenoceptor blockade during cooling increased temperature thresholds for total metabolic reaction and shivering. The maximum shivering intensity also increased, which partially compensated inhibition of non-shivering thermogenesis. In the whole organism, blockade of one type of adrenoceptors during cooling leads to intensification of compensatory mechanisms realized through adrenoceptors of the other type. In hypertensive rats, compensatory capacities of thermogenic processes controlled by α1- and β-adrenoceptors are impaired in comparison with normotensive animals under conditions of inhibition of both shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.
