| Abstract | 1. Effects of E. coli endotoxin on vascular responsiveness to a variety of agents were compared with those of the calcium channel blocking drug nicardipine in pithed rats. 2. Infusion of endotoxin (250 micrograms kg-1 h-1) produced a fall in mean arterial blood pressure (8 mmHg). A similar fall (11 mmHg) was seen in rats receiving nicardipine (1.0 mg kg-1). 3. Endotoxin impaired responsiveness to vasopressin, phenylephrine and cirazoline, producing a shift to the right in the dose-response curves without any change in the maximum response. Responsiveness to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and to the alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonists clonidine and BHT 933, was also impaired with a marked reduction in their maximum responses. The dose-response curve to the pressor effects of endothelin was not significantly modified. 4. Nicardipine produced a similar pattern of impairment of responsiveness to these agents to that produced by endotoxin. However, nicardipine also shifted the pressor dose-response curve to endothelin to the right with no significant alteration in its maximum response. 5. The pressor responses to endothelin and to 5-HT were, respectively, preceded and followed by dose-dependent depressor responses, which were markedly reduced by endotoxin and nicardipine. 6. The concomitant infusion of arginine vasopressin (0.64 iu kg-1 h-1) prevented endotoxin-induced hypotension and also prevented the impairment in responsiveness to cirazoline and to BHT 933. 7. The similarity of the pattern of impaired pressor responsiveness (except in relation to endothelin) and depressor responsiveness produced by endotoxin and nicardipine may be consistent with a common mechanism of action. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
