Changes in arachidonic acid metabolite patterns in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.

abstract：:DL-o-, and p-octopamine were tested for beta- and alpha-adrenergic activity in rats. When compared to DL-isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist, all three isomers failed to show significant beta-adrenergic activity as assessed by intiation of thirst and by increase in tail skin temperature. All three isomers increas...
