    Author: Finch MB, O'Connor PC, Harron DW, Shanks RG.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pharmacol; 1983 Apr; 15(4):431-4. PubMed ID: 6849778.
    Abstract:
    1 The present study compared the effects in healthy volunteers of the acute and chronic administration of placebo, pindolol and propranolol to see if the partial agonist activity of pindolol was reduced by the beta-adrenoceptor blocking activity of pindolol on chronic administration. 2 Five subjects received in random order for 8 days placebo, propranolol 160 mg and pindolol 10 mg; on days 1 and 8 treatments were given twice at 0 and 2 h. Heart rate in supine position and at end of exercise was recorded before dosing and at 2 and 4 h post-dosing on days 1 and 8. 3 Propranolol and pindolol reduced exercise heart rate to the same extent on days 1 and 8. 4 Propranolol reduced supine heart rate more than pindolol on days 1 and 8 but the difference was only significant on day 8.
