Abstract
Catecholamines are involved in the regulation of a wide variety of vital functions. The β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) - adenylyl cyclase system has been identified early in embryogenesis before the heart has received adrenergic innervation. The structure of β-receptors in the immature myocardium is similar to that in adults; there are, however, significant quantitative developmental changes in the inotropic and chronotropic responsiveness. Information on the toxic effect of the β-AR agonists in the immature heart is surprisingly scarce, even though these agents are used in clinical practice both during pregnancy and in early postnatal development. Large doses of β-AR agonists induce malformations of the cardiovascular system; the type of change depends upon the time at which the β-AR agonist was administered during embryogenesis. During postnatal ontogeny, the cardiotoxicity of β-AR agonists increased from birth to adulthood. It seems likely that despite interspecies differences, developmental changes in the cardiac sensitivity to β-AR agonists may exist in all mammals, depending on the degree of maturation of the system involved in β-adrenergic signaling. All the existing data draw attention to the possible harmful consequences of the clinical use of β-AR agonists during early phases of cardiac development. Late effects of the early disturbances of the cardiac muscle cannot be excluded.

Abstract
(1) Our earlier studies indicate a downsteam regulatory role of the beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) system in thyroid hormone induced differentiation and maturation of astrocytes. In the present study we have investigated the contributions of the subtypes of beta-AR in the above phenomenon. (2) Primary astrocyte cultures were grown under thyroid hormone deficient as well as under euthyroid conditions. [(125)I]Pindolol ([(125)I]PIN) binding studies showed a gradual increase in the specific binding to beta(2)-AR when observed at 5, 10, 15, and 20 days under both cultural conditions. Thyroid hormone caused an increase in binding of [(125)I]PIN to beta(2)-AR compared to thyroid hormone deficient controls at all ages of astrocyte culture. (3) Saturation studies using [(125)I]PIN in astrocyte membranes prepared from 20-day-old cultures showed a significant increase in the affinity of the receptors (K (D)) in the thyroid hormone treated cells without any change in receptor number (B (max)). (4) beta(2)-AR mRNA levels were measured by real-time PCR during ontogenic development as well as during exposure of 10-day-old hypothyroid cultures to normal levels of thyroid hormone for 2, 6, 12, and 24 h. None of the conditions caused any significant change in the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor mRNA levels when compared with corresponding hypothyroid controls. (5) Over expression of beta(2)-AR cDNA in hypothyroid astrocytes caused morphological transformation in spite of the absence of thyroid hormone in the medium. (6) Taken together, results suggest thyroid hormone causes a selective increase in [(125)I]PIN binding to beta(2)-AR due to increase in receptor affinity, which may lead to maturation of astrocytes.

Abstract
The effects of pharmacologic modulation of vagal activity on ischemic ventricular tachycardia were evaluated in 21 conscious dogs after permanent left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion. Studies were done on spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (cycle length 383 +/- 100 msec, n = 21), 24 to 72 hours after LAD occlusion, and on inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (cycle length 251 +/- 30 msec, n = 6), 4 to 7 days after LAD occlusion. Edrophonium (1 mg/kg intravenously), a cholinesterase inhibitor, and methacholine (0.1 to 1 mg intravenously), a muscarinic agonist, had no significant effect on the rate or QRS morphology of either type of tachycardia, despite severe slowing of the sinoatrial rate. Similarly, atropine (up to 60 micrograms/kg intravenously) had no effect on the rate and QRS morphology of either type of tachycardia. In an attempt to enhance myocardial drug delivery to the ischemic and infarcted left ventricle, edrophonium (1 mg/kg) and methacholine (0.1 to 0.2 mg) were injected retrogradely through the great cardiac vein. This did not impart any significant therapeutic advantage over the systemic intravenous route. Sympathetic beta blockade did not affect the therapeutic outcome (n = 5) with either edrophonium or methacholine. It is concluded that direct or indirect enhancement of cardiac vagal activity has no effect on ischemic ventricular tachycardia in this model of subacute myocardial infarction. The lack of efficacy appears to be independent of myocardial drug delivery to ischemic ventricular site(s) and background sympathetic activity. Such a lack of efficacy may be caused by ischemia-mediated degeneration of vagal nerve terminals, by altered responsiveness of muscarinic receptors at infarcted arrhythmogenic myocardial sites, or both.

Abstract
Correlations between cardiovascular effects of a quantified dose of nicotine and personality measures previously shown to predict coronary heart disease were obtained. Thirty male smokers smoked a popular brand of a regular strength cigarette (1.0 mg FTC-estimated nicotine delivery) on one occasion and a nicotine-free cigarette on another occasion by means of a quantified smoke delivery system. Partial correlations controlling for effects of body weight, questionnaire-assessed nicotine tolerance, and cardiovascular responses to the nicotine-free control cigarette showed Jenkins Activity Survey Type A scores to correlate positively with nicotine-induced increase in diastolic blood pressure but negatively with nicotine-induced increase in systolic blood pressure. Partial correlations indicated that trait anxiety and depression were significantly associated with nicotine-induced heart rate increases but not with nicotine-induced blood pressure responses.

Abstract
Phenylephrine produced concentration-related positive inotropic responses in isolated left atria and papillary muscles of guinea-pigs and rats. In rat tissues, these responses were unaffected by propranolol but antagonized by prazosin and therefore mediated via alpha 1-adrenoceptors. The alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist methoxamine also exerted positive inotropic effects in these rat tissues. The maximum alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated effect of methoxamine (relative to the isoprenaline maximum) was greater than that of phenylephrine in left atria (in the presence of propranolol), whereas in papillary muscles phenylephrine exerted the greater maximum. In guinea-pig papillary muscles, the response to phenylephrine was unaffected by prazosin but was antagonized by propranolol and therefore caused by stimulation of beta-adrenoceptors. Methoxamine had no effect in guinea-pig papillary muscles. Guinea-pig left atria produced biphasic concentration-response curves for phenylephrine, the lower portion being antagonized by phentolamine and was therefore alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated, while the upper portion was antagonized by propranolol and therefore beta-adrenoceptor-mediated. Methoxamine exerted a small inotropic response, the maximum of which was similar to that of the first component of the phenylephrine response. Phenylephrine was a partial agonist for the cardiac beta-adrenoceptor. The density of rat ventricular alpha-adrenoceptors was 4 times greater than beta-adrenoceptor density, as measured by [3H]-prazosin and [3H]-dihydroalprenolol binding. This explains why the responses of rat papillary muscles were alpha-adrenoceptor-mediated. In contrast, the density of beta-adrenoceptor binding sites in guinea-pig ventricles was 6 times greater than the alpha-adrenoceptor density. This explains why the phenylephrine responses were beta-adrenoceptor-mediated in guinea-pig papillary muscles. In the left atria of guinea-pigs, which displayed both alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor-mediated responses, the densities of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor binding sites were similar. Thus, phenylephrine exerts positive inotropic effects through alpha- or beta-adrenoceptors depending upon their relative densities.

Abstract
beta 2-Receptors constitute only 10-30% of the total beta-adrenergic receptors in mammalian ventricular myocardium, but their precise tissue location cannot be determined easily by measuring physiological variables. To delineate the distribution of beta-receptor subtypes in myocytic and vascular components of the heart, we incubated transmural sections of canine left ventricle with [125Iodo]cyanopindolol and selected concentrations of the beta 1-selective antagonist betaxolol or the beta 2-selective antagonist ICI 118,551. Detailed competition binding data were best accounted for by a two-site model in which approximately 75% of total sites were beta 1- and 25% were beta 2-receptors. The relative proportions of beta-receptor subtypes in myocytic and vascular components were assessed autoradiographically by analyzing the density of binding sites in transmural sections incubated with radioligand and subtype-selective displacers. Betaxolol (10(-7) M) reduced the density of radioligand binding sites by 44% in regions composed primarily of ventricular myocytes but by less than 5% in small coronary arterioles. ICI 118,551 (10(-7) M) reduced radioligand binding-site density by 18% in myocytic regions and by 55% in small arterioles. In myocytic regions, these data indicated a subtype composition of approximately 85% beta 1- and 15% beta 2-sites. In contrast, arterioles contained almost exclusively the beta 2-subtype. The diameters of coronary vessels in which beta 2-receptors were found to be selectively increased fell within a narrow range (mean +/- SD, 35 +/- 11 microns; range, 16-55 microns). Small mural arteries and venules did not contain a significantly higher proportion of beta 2-receptors than adjacent myocytic regions.

Abstract
1. Chloralose/urethane anaesthetized guinea-pigs were used for preparation of the tracheal pouch, which demonstrates the NANC innervation. Isolated vagi cut cranially were positioned on bipolar electrodes for subsequent stimulation. The animals were given atropine and propranolol intraperitoneally before the experimental procedure to assure that responses would be from non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic components. 2. ATP and VIP, two putative neurotransmitters for non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC) inhibitory innervation caused relaxation responses of the pouch. Both VIP and ATP (10(-9) M) caused auto-desensitization after four repeated administrations into the pouch. 3. If NANC nerve stimulation causes relaxation of tracheal smooth muscle by release of one of these agents onto a specific receptor, repeated exposure to that agent by nerve stimulation or exogenous application could cause diminished responsiveness from cross-desensitization, yet maintained responsiveness to an agent acting at other receptors. 4. Relaxation responses to vagal stimulation were determined before and after the pouch was incubated for a 10-min period with either ATP or VIP (10(-6) M). ATP incubation did not produce significant (P less than 0.05) change in the degree of relaxation in response to nerve stimulation. In contrast, VIP incubation did cause diminished relaxation of the pouch in response to subsequent nerve stimulation. 5. The ability of the agents at 10(-9) M and 10(-6) M to cause relaxation of the pouch was next examined before and after repeated NANC nerve stimulation. Relaxation of the pouch to ATP was not significantly affected by intervening repeated nerve stimulations. However, relaxation in response to VIP was significantly inhibited by repeated nerve stimulation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Modulation of beta-adrenergic receptors and their ability to respond to beta-receptor stimulation was studied in cultures of adult and neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. The radioligand iodocyanopindolol (125I-CYP) was used to identify beta-adrenoceptors on the intact cells. 125I-CYP was found to bind to the receptors in a stereospecific and saturable manner. Freshly isolated neonatal and adult myocytes both had a receptor density of approximately 50 fmol/mg protein. The number of beta-receptors per milligram protein was similar during a 10-d culture period for adult myocytes but increased after a 5-d culture period for neonatal myocytes. Both cell types responded to beta-receptor stimulation with isoproterenol by a twofold increase in the concentration of cAMP and this response increased with time in culture. The number of receptors as well as the response to isoproterenol was similar for neonatal myocytes cultured on laminin, collagen type I, or on uncoated culture dishes. From these data we conclude that cultured cardiac myocytes maintain functional beta-receptors as they progress into culture, and the expression of beta-receptors is not influenced by culture substrates.

Abstract
Characteristics of the bindings of [3H](-)dihydroalprenolol, [125I](-)iodocyanopindolol, [3H]prazosin, [3H]yohimbine, and [3H]nitrendipine to porcine coronary membranes were investigated and the results compared with studies of porcine aortic membranes. In the equilibrium binding study carried out in sarcolemma-enriched fractions, there were no major differences in the Kd values of these radioligands between coronary artery and aorta. However, the densities of beta-, alpha 1-, and alpha 2-adrenoceptors and [3H]nitrendipine receptors of coronary artery were 258, 12, 12, and 561 fmol/mg protein, respectively, while those of aorta were 37, 525, 1,000, and 215 fmol/mg protein. beta-Adrenergic agonists competed with [3H](-)dihydroalprenolol binding sites in coronary artery, the order of potency being (-)isoproterenol greater than (-)norepinephrine greater than (-)epinephrine greater than (+)isoproterenol. In case of aorta, the order was (-)isoproterenol greater than (-)epinephrine greater than (-)norepinephrine. The competition by (+/-)bisoprolol (beta 1-selective antagonist) and ICI 118,551 (beta 2-selective antagonist) for [125I](-)iodocyanopindolol binding sites in coronary artery resulted in nonlinear Hofstee plots (beta 1:beta 2 = 90%:10%). In case of aorta, linear Hofstee plots were obtained. From these results, we conclude that coronary beta-receptors in pigs are predominantly of beta 1-type, while those of aorta are of beta 2-type; regarding the relative population of adrenoceptors, coronary artery is beta-dominant (beta/alpha = 11), while aorta is alpha-dominant (beta/alpha = 0.02); compared with alpha-adrenoceptors, coronary artery has a greater number of [3H]nitrendipine binding sites (nitrendipine/alpha-adrenoceptor = 23) than aorta (nitrendipine/alpha-adrenoceptor = 0.14).

Abstract
The distribution of adrenergic receptors in specific components of the heart such as vessels and myocytes cannot be determined easily with assays of membranes prepared from homogenates of whole tissue. Accordingly, we characterized the binding of the potent nonsubtype selective antagonist [125iodo]cyanopindolol to beta-receptors in unfixed transmural slices of feline and canine left ventricle. Specific binding ratios greater than 90% were achieved at radioligand concentrations near Kd and greater than 80% at saturating ligand concentrations. Binding of radioligand to receptors in transmural slices was rapid, saturable, stereoselective, and displaceable by antagonists and agonists with the rank order of potency expected of beta-adrenergic receptors. Analysis of binding isotherms indicated maximum binding capacities of 27.8 +/- 6.6 and 40.6 +/- 5.1 fmol/mg tissue protein and dissociation constants of 10.1 +/- 1.8 and 21.3 +/- 1.6 pM in feline and canine ventricular slices, respectively. The distribution of beta-receptors in myocytes and selected vascular components of the heart was determined with quantitative film autoradiography and high resolution computer-based analysis and display of the density of binding sites, maximum binding capacity, and binding affinity measurements. The results of autoradiographic analysis revealed a uniform transmural distribution of receptors in regions composed primarily of ventricular myocytes but an inverse relation between the density of beta-receptors and the diameter of coronary vessels. Large epicardial conductance arteries had half the receptor density of subjacent myocytes; small mural arteries had approximately 60% of the beta-receptor density of nearby myocytes, and the coronary resistance arterioles had the highest receptor density of any vascular compartment, which was equivalent to that of myocytes. The methods developed should be of particular value in characterizing the distribution and function of receptor subtypes and mechanisms of regulation of adrenergic responsiveness in intact myocardium.

Abstract
Using in vitro autoradiography the distribution of [3H]rauwolscine, [3H]prazosin and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate binding sites has been demonstrated in cardiac tissue taken from the cat and rat. A similar distribution of both alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptor sites was seen but the distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine sites was markedly different. alpha-Adrenoceptors were present predominantly in ventricular muscle whereas muscarinic acetylcholine receptors exhibited a greater density in atrial tissue compared to ventricular muscle. Opiate receptors were absent from cardiac tissue.

Abstract
The effects of neuraminidase and deoxyribonuclease I (DNase) treatments on the specific binding of 3H-prazosin and 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3H-QNB) to alpha-adrenoceptors and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the membrane of the rat myocardium was examined, and the dissociation constant (Kd) and the maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) was analyzed using the method of Scatchard analysis. Although no changes in Kd values were observed when DNA or sialic acid was removed from cardiac muscles by treatments with DNase or neuraminidase, the Bmax values of alpha-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors were markedly decreased after treatment with DNase, while neuraminidase treatment induced an increase in the Bmax values of the alpha-adrenoceptors. The possibility that these results provide the basis for elucidation of the characteristics of these receptors in the rat myocardium was discussed.

Abstract
To examine mechanisms by which cardiac tissue regulates the beta-adrenergic receptor and physiological response to beta-adrenergic agonists, we studied the effects of cytoskeletal disrupting agents and inhibition of protein synthesis on receptor properties and contractile response to isoproterenol in intact cultured ventricular cells from embryonic chick heart. Thirty minutes of exposure of intact cells to 1 microM isoproterenol produced loss of the high-affinity state (KD = 4.5 +/- 1.5 nM) of the receptor found in cell membranes with no loss of total receptor number, whereas there was concomitant decline in the contractile response to 1 microM isoproterenol to 41 +/- 16% (SD) of control. Contractile response recovered within 60 minutes of agonist removal to 78 +/- 11% of initial response. There was concomitant recovery of the high-affinity state of the receptor, so that 1 hour after agonist removal there was 72% of the initial proportion of high-affinity receptors. This desensitization of the contractile response, as well as recovery after agonist removal, was markedly blunted by preincubation with cytochalasin B so that contractile responsiveness to isoproterenol was maintained at 77 +/- 13% of the initial response. Colchicine (10 microM) was without effect on the first 30 minutes of agonist-induced desensitization. More prolonged agonist exposure (1 microM isoproterenol for 24 hours) produced colchicine-sensitive loss of receptors from intact cells to 40% of control levels. Full recovery of receptor number occurred over 72 hours; this was completely blocked by cycloheximide (P less than 0.01). Thus, rapid desensitization and resensitization of the beta-receptor-mediated contractile response is associated with alterations in high-affinity agonist binding and appears to be modulated by microfilaments. Receptor down-regulation is dependent on functional microtubules, and recovery of these receptors after agonist removal requires protein synthesis.

Abstract
The metabolic and circulatory consequences of activation of the muscarinic receptor(s) were investigated by local administration of acetylcholine and its three analogues (bethanechol, carbachol and methacholine) into beating and KCl-arrested perfused rat hearts. Acetylcholine and the three other choline esters caused vasoconstriction in both types of preparations and this vasoconstriction was accompanied by a decrease in oxygen consumption. In most cases the dose-response curves were biphasic and changes in coronary flow paralleled those in oxygen consumption. Both phenomena were abolished by administration of atropine and either removal of calcium or infusion of verapamil but were unaffected by addition of the adrenergic alpha-blocker, prazosin, and the adrenergic beta-blocker, propranolol. Infusions of low concentrations of the cholinergic agonists were accompanied by increases in the myocardial phosphorylation state ratio [( ATP]free/[ADP]free[Pi]) which correlated with the simultaneous decreases in oxygen consumption and coronary flow. It is suggested that muscarinic receptors responsible for vasoconstriction in perfused rat heart are located not only on coronary vessels but also on the cardiac muscle cells. Activation of the former receptors induces vasoconstriction by direct action on the vascular smooth muscle while activation of the latter receptors induces vasoconstriction indirectly by decreasing cardiac work and increasing the myocardial [ATP]free/[ADP]free[Pi] ratio. The results also show that stimulation of muscarinic receptor(s) and the consequent metabolic and vasoregulatory responses are coupled to calcium movements.

Abstract
The chronotropic reactivity to beta-adrenergic stimulation was studied in isolated perfused hearts from sinoaortic baroreceptors denervated (SAD) rats in the phases of maximal tachycardia (5 h) and normalized heart rate (15 days) or after repeated injection of isoproterenol (1 mg/kg, 3 times daily for 10 days). The threshold doses of isoproterenol needed to cause a significant acceleration of heart rate were significantly higher in acute SAD (1.6 X 10(-7)M), chronic SAD (3.2 X 10(-7)M), and isoproterenol-pretreated (6.4 X 10(-7)M) rats than in control rats (0.8 X 10(-7)M). The maximal increment in basal heart rate was lower in acute (59%) and chronic (48%) SAD rats and in isoproterenol-pretreated rats (26%) than in control rats (78%). These results suggest that the increased efferent sympathetic outflow to the heart induced by SAD causes desensitization of cardiac beta-adrenoceptors and may explain the gradual tachycardia disappearance in this SAD hypertensive rats.

Abstract
Capillary permeability and cellular uptake of noradrenaline by the isolated artificially perfused rabbit heart was measured using rapid (less than 30 s) single-circulation tracer-dilution techniques. In a single coronary circulation capillary extractions of L-[14C]noradrenaline and D-[3H]mannitol (extracellular reference) relative to an intravascular marker, 125I-labelled albumin, were similar and above 60%. The 'apparent' volume of distribution for tracer noradrenaline was 2.5-fold larger than that measured for D-mannitol (0.32 ml g-1) suggesting cellular uptake of the amine. Unidirectional noradrenaline uptake was estimated by directly comparing coronary sinus dilution profiles of L-[3H]noradrenaline and D-[14C]mannitol. Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics based on a single-entry system were determined (Km = 2.8 +/- 1.5 microM, Vmax = 2.1 +/- 0.5 nmol min-1 g-1, n = 4) by perfusing hearts with varying concentrations of L-noradrenaline (1-10 microM). Various known inhibitors of noradrenaline uptake were investigated to determine whether uptake was mediated by neuronal (uptake1) and/or extraneuronal (uptake2) mechanisms. Desipramine (5 microM), imipramine (5 microM) and metaraminol (2 microM) resulted in a 66-94% inhibition of noradrenaline influx. In comparison, the steroids, 17 beta-oestradiol (1 microM) and corticosterone (10 microM), and the noradrenaline metabolite normetanephrine (5 microM) caused virtually no inhibitory effects. The beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol (5 microM) was also relatively ineffective. These results together with the kinetic constants estimated suggest that the rapid noradrenaline uptake reflects transport into adrenergic neurones lying in the coronary interstitium. The high resolution of this paired-tracer dilution technique has permitted a 'non-invasive' study of neuronal uptake mechanisms and its application may be of clinical value.

Abstract
This light microscopic autoradiographic study was performed to test the hypotheses that (a) the density of beta adrenergic receptors (BAR) may differ in various components of the heart and (b) BAR in certain components of the heart may exhibit a selective response to pharmacologic and pathological stimuli. Blocks of canine left ventricle were frozen and tissue sections cut and incubated in (-)[3H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA) to label the BAR. For total and nonspecific binding, serial sections were incubated with and without 10(-5) M (+/-)propranolol. Scintillation spectrometry of sections demonstrated rapid binding, saturability, stereospecificity, a dissociation constant (KD) of 3.2 +/- 0.5 nM (SD) (n = 3), and a maximal binding of 31.3 +/- 3.1 fmol/mg of tissue protein. Isoproterenol was 12.5 times more effective than norepinephrine in displacing DHA. Sections incubated with 10(-5) - 10(-8) M metoprolol, a beta one selective antagonist, demonstrated a KD of 0.7 X 10(-6) M. For autoradiography, emulsion-coated coverslips were attached to the slides. After exposure, the slides were developed and stained, and grain density quantified. Specific BAR binding (n = 4 dogs) was 1,047 +/- 131 (SEM) grains/10(-2) mm2 for myocardial arterioles, 219 +/- 30 for myocardial arteries, 31 +/- 12 for the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), and 231 +/- 34 for cardiac myocytes. Specific binding in the presence of 10(-5) M metoprolol was reduced approximately 75% for both arterioles and myocytes. However, at 10(-6) M metoprolol, the percent reduction in specific DHA binding was greater for myocytes (50%) than for arterioles (0%), and at 10(-7) M metoprolol, the percent reduction in specific DHA binding was 17% for myocytes with no reduction over arterioles. After 1 h of LAD occlusion, a selective increase (18%) in BAR density occurred over cardiac myocytes, but not over blood vessels in the ischemic myocardium. Thus, (a) specific BAR binding was five times greater in arterioles than in small arteries and myocardium and 34 times greater than in the proximal LAD; (b) BAR of myocytes were more sensitive than those of arterioles to displacement by the beta one selective antagonist, metoprolol; and (c) a selective increase in BAR occurs in cardiac myocytes but not in blood vessels after 1 h of ischemia in this experimental model.

Abstract
The muscarinic cholinergic antagonist 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate was used to study muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the brain and the heart from triiodothyronine, thyroxine and 6-propyl-2-thiouracil treated rats. Scatchard analysis of the saturation binding studies revealed for each rat in both brain and heart tissue a single group of muscarinic cholinergic receptor binding sites of high affinity. The density and the affinity of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in brain and heart homogenates from treated rats were not different from values obtained in control rats with the exception of triiodothyronine treated rats which showed a slightly but significantly increased equilibrium dissociation constant in the brain homogenates. Furthermore, we observed that the density of the muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the brain was significantly lower in the month of August as compared to March-April, which suggests a seasonal variation. No similar change was observed in heart homogenates. Our results suggest that cardiovascular and central nervous symptoms in patients with thyroid diseases cannot be ascribed to changes in muscarinic cholinergic receptors.

Abstract
The highly specific beta-adrenoceptor radioligand, (+/-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol, has been used to subclassify beta-adrenoceptors in membranes from human right atrial appendage obtained during open heart surgery. Binding of (+/-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol was saturable (Bmax = 86.4 +/- 7.4 fmol (+/-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol bound/mg protein, n = 4), of high affinity (KD = 53 +/- 6 pM, n = 4), rapid, reversible, and stereospecific. The relative potencies of isoprenaline, adrenaline, and noradrenaline for inhibition of (+/-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol binding and activation of adenylate cyclase were 1:10:10, indicating a population composed mainly of beta 1-adrenoceptors. Inhibition of (+/-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol binding by beta 1- (practolol, metoprolol, betaxolol) and beta 2- (IPS 339, ICI 118,551, zinterol, procaterol) selective drugs, however, resulted in biphasic displacement curves with slope factors (nH, pseudo Hill coefficients) significantly less than 1.0. Nonlinear regression analysis of these curves revealed a beta 1: beta 2 ratio of 80:20 in human right atrial appendage. Nonselective beta-adrenergic drugs (propranolol, isoprenaline, and adrenaline), on the contrary, inhibited binding with monophasic displacement curves and nH = 1.0. Binding of agonists to the beta-adrenoceptors in human right atrial appendage seems to be regulated by guanyl nucleotides. In the absence of GTP, isoprenaline binds to high and low affinity state of the beta-adrenoceptors. GTP (10(-4) M) converts this heterogeneous binding into a homogeneous one of low affinity. It is concluded that, in human right atria, beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors coexist; however, beta 1-adrenoceptors predominate. The physiological function of beta 2-adrenoceptors in human right atrium remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
The development of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in chick heart was studied from incubation days 5 through 20. There is a parallel increase in receptor density in atrium and ventricle until the last half of incubation, when the atrial, but not the ventricular, receptor density increases. This increase is blocked by exposure to atropine on incubation days 11 through 14, but not on days 16 through 19. This specific regional increase is coincident with the appearance of functional cholinergic innervation of the heart. During this same period there is an alteration in muscarinic receptor binding properties in both atrium and ventricle that is characterized by an increase in the proportion of receptors displaying high affinity agonist binding. This increase is blocked in the atrium, but not the ventricle, by atropine exposure on incubation days 11 through 14. Thus, there is a critical period in the development of atrial muscarinic receptors during which the receptors are susceptible to modulation by exposure to an antagonist.

Abstract
beta-Adrenoreceptor antagonists containing several pharmacophores, so called alprenolol-Jeffamines, were studied. These compounds are derived from Jeffamine NH2-CH-(CH3)-CH2-[-O-CH2-CH(CH3)-]n-NH2, n = 2.6 ave. by substitution of nitrogen with 3-(2-allylphenoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl groups, which are part of the Alprenolol pharmacophore. Alprenolol-Jeffamines inhibited (-)isoprenaline stimulated adenylate cyclase activity; the derivative with one pharmacophore was about 4-fold and the derivative with two pharmacophores was about 17-fold less potent than (+/-)alprenolol; the trisubstituted derivative which has one complete and two partial pharmacophores was ineffective. The ratio of Ki's for inhibition of (-)3H-DHA binding and for inhibition of adenylate cyclase were approximately one for each derivative. When (+/-)alprenolol and alprenolol-Jeffamine derivatives were injected intraperitoneally into rats and heart membranes or homogenates were prepared 18-20 h afterwards, the mono, di, and trisubstituted derivatives, but not (+/-)alprenolol, inhibited binding of (-)3H-DHA. This persistency pattern is different from that observed in vitro, where only di and trisubstituted derivatives are persistent. Slow metabolism/slow excretion of the monosubstituted derivative may be a source of the increased persistency in vivo. In similarly prepared animals, the dose-response curve for (-)isoprenaline stimulated adenylate cyclase was shifted to the right 3-to-4 fold for mono and disubstituted derivatives but was unaffected by (+/-)alprenolol and the trisubstituted derivative. The results suggest that these derivatives interact with physiologically important beta-adrenoreceptors in vitro, and that, in vivo, they persistently block beta-adrenoreceptors and inhibit isoprenaline stimulated adenylate cyclase.

Abstract
Graded doses of norepinephrine and methoxamine were given to rabbits over a standard 90-minute infusion period to assess their potential for inducing myocardial injury. Lesions of myofiber necrosis and leukocytic infiltration were graded semiquantitatively in animals killed 2 days later. A close correlation was found between the dose of norepinephrine and the histological score (r = 0.912, P less than 0.001). Mean arterial pressure rose from 100 mm Hg to a maximum of 129 mm Hg, and averaged 115 mm Hg during infusion of 2 micrograms/min per kg. However, heart rate fell from 287 beats/min to average 208 beats/min. The pressure-rate product, an index of metabolic demand, showed no significant change and did not differ from saline-infused controls. Beta-adrenergic blockade with practolol (4 mg/kg) or propranolol (1 mg/kg) failed to significantly reduce cardiac injury with norepinephrine. However, alpha-adrenoceptor blockade with phentolamine (10 mg), alone or in combination with either of the beta-antagonists, markedly reduced lesion formation as reflected by the histological score (P less than 0.02). Administration of the alpha-agonist methoxamine produced dose-related increases in the intensity of myocardial injury (r = 0.938, P less than 0.01), morphologically identical with those resulting from norepinephrine. Hemodynamic changes also were comparable. Phentolamine markedly reduced methoxamine injury. It may be concluded from these studies that norepinephrine cardiomyopathy results in large part from activation of the alpha-adrenergic system in the rabbit model. Ischemia or a supply-demand mismatch are unlikely mechanisms. We speculate that alterations in myofiber Ca++ translocation, uptake, and binding induced by alpha 1-receptor activation may contribute to membrane damage.

Abstract
The properties of beta-adrenergic receptors in the cardiovascular system have been studied in the past by two experimental approaches, which can be termed pharmacologic and biochemical. In the pharmacologic approach, the nature of a drug interaction with receptors is deduced from alterations in the physiologic properties of the tissue caused by administration of various concentrations of the drug. Many important concepts about beta-adrenergic receptors have come from such indirect pharmacologic studies. The biochemical approach directly assesses the interaction of drugs with beta-adrenergic receptors by studying the binding of radiolabeled antagonists and agonists with the receptor. This relatively new approach has provided a large amount of new information regarding the intrinsic properties of beta-adrenergic receptors and modification of these properties by physiologic stresses, administration of drugs and disease states. The biochemical approach has also been applied recently to the study of beta-adrenergic receptors in human beings. In the future, substantial clinically relevant new information regarding the nature of beta-adrenergic receptors in physiologic and pathologic conditions should result from application of a combination of the biochemical and physiologic approaches to studies in human beings.
