Cultured vascular smooth muscle cells: an in vitro system for study of alpha-adrenergic receptor coupling and regulation.

abstract：:A contribution by active vasodilation to the hypotensive effect of medroxalol was investigated in anesthetized dogs and reserpinized pithed rats. In anesthetized dogs, intravenous doses of medroxalol, which decreased blood pressure and heart rate, also produced a dose-related vasodilation in the isolated perfused grac...
