Abstract
Changes in the main parameters of α-and β-adrenergic responses, sensitivity to agonists (EC 50) and maximum response (P m) of hindlimb and small intestinal blood pressure in situ and systemic blood pressure were studied in rabbits adapted to cold for 1–30 days (daily exposures to −10°C for 6 h). The responses to phenylephrine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, clonidine (α-agonists), and isopropylnoradrenaline (β-agonist) corresponded to the equation p = (P m A n)/(EC 50 n + A n) (1) with n = 1 and n = 2, respectively. Cold adaptation induced reciprocal changes in the response of both EC 50 and P m to α-agonists and in the response of P m alone to isopropylnoradrenaline. The significant differences of the parameters from control observed during the first 5 days of adaptation gradually decreased by day 30. After 10 days of adaptation, the efficiency (E = P m/2EC 50) of response to α-and β-agonists of adrenoceptors significantly increased.
