Abstract
The isolated right hindlimb of the recipient rat was perfused at a constant flow rate through the femoral artery with heparinized blood from the carotid artery of a donor. The preparations were under a 99.0 .+-. 0.8 mmHg of mean perfusion pressure (N = 63) and 3.3 .+-. 0.1 ml/min of blood flow through the right femoral artery. The actions of adenosine, ATP, ADP and AMP, IMP and inosine on the femoral vascular bed were investigated. These substances injected into the femoral artery, with the exception of inosine, caused a dose-dependent vasoconstriction always preceded by a temporal vasodilatation. Inosine induced only a prompt vasoconstriction. The vasoconstrictor responses to these substances were diminished or reverted to vasodilator ones after repeated administrations and were significantly prevented by pretreatment with eithr reserpine or methysergide. All the purines tested induce a vasoconstriction in the femoral vascular bed of the rat through a common (tryptaminergic) mechanism and seem to be potent releasers of 5-hydroxytryptamine from peripheral tryptaminergic storage sites.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
