Neuroendocrine response to cold in Raynaud's syndrome.

Abstract:

:Eleven patients with Raynaud's syndrome accompanied by monospecific IgG ANA, nine patients with Raynaud's syndrome in the absence of ANA, and nine normal volunteers were exposed to an ambient cold challenge during which time venous blood was continuously sampled. ANA negative patients were shown to have significantly higher levels of cortisol during a cold challenge than either ANA positive patients or normal controls, and exhibited significantly lower levels of plasma norepinephrine compared with normal controls. ANA positive patients did not differ significantly from normals in their neuroendocrine response to cold. It is suggested that the high plasma cortisol found in Raynaud's syndrome in the absence of ANA may be responsible for the vasospasticity in this group of patients.

  • Metoprolol reduces 'compensatory' coronary blood flow following occlusion of an adjacent branch without altering post-occlusion hyperaemia.

    abstract::In pentobarbitone anaesthetised, thoracotomised dogs, blood flow in one (circumflex; LCX) branch of the left coronary artery increases when an adjacent (anterior descending; LAD) branch is occluded. We show that this 'compensatory blood flow' increase results from an enhanced regional myocardial contractility, as asse...
