  • Title: Functional evidence against the existence of beta 2-adrenoceptors mediating positive intropic effects in guinea-pig right ventricular myocardium.
    Author: Mügge A, Oldenburg J, Schmitz W, Scholz H.
    Journal: Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol; 1997 Jan; 355(1):74-8. PubMed ID: 9007845.
    Abstract:
    In guinea-pig isolated papillary muscles we studied the positive inotropic effects of the beta-adrenoceptor agonists isoprenaline, fenoterol and noradrenaline in the presence and absence of the beta 1-selective antagonist atenolol and the beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118.551. In Schild regression analysis pA2 values, for either atenolol (7.14-7.16) and ICI 118.551 (6.79-6.84) were independent of the agonists used. These results support the view that the inotropic response in guinea-pig ventricular myocardium is mediated by beta 1-adrenoceptors only.
