Abstract:
:[3H] Overflow evoked by 5 min supramaximal preganglionic stimulation at 1 pps has been studied in isolated guinea pig superior cervical ganglion preparations preincubated with [3H]choline. At 15 microM norepinephrine (NE) reduced both the [3H]choline overflow and endogenous acetylcholine release by 59.4 and 54.1% respectively; the dose-response curve for NE inhibitory action is described. Evidence is given that endogenous catecholamines effectively reduce ACh release from the ganglia. After blocking the inhibitory action of endogenous NE, a significant beta-adrenoceptor-mediated facilitatory effect on ACh release could be observed. Preincubation of the ganglia with different combinations of alpha 1 and alpha 2 agonists (phenylephrine, 10 microM and clonidine, 1 microM respectively) and antagonists (prazosin, 10 microM and yohimbine, 3 microM) showed that the adrenoceptors involved in alpha-mediated NE inhibition of ACh output are exclusively of the alpha 2-type.
