| Abstract | 1. The effect of different concentrations of phenoxybenzamine (0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 30 nmoll -1) on the concentration-response curves to phenylephrine (a selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist) and noradrenaline (a mixed alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist) was compared in two kinds of vascular tissue: dog saphenous vein (has both postsynaptic alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors) and dog mesenteric and renal arteries--where only postsynaptic alpha 1-adrenoceptors have been shown to exist. 2. In the saphenous vein, where both alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors coexist, at only one concentration of phenoxybenzamine, 3 nmoll -1, the concentration-response curve of noradrenaline was shifted to the right without a reduction of the maximum; and this shift was small (by 0.4 log units). 3. In tissues where only alpha 1-adrenoceptors exist postsynaptically (mesenteric and renal arteries) phenoxybenzamine never caused any shift of the noradrenaline concentration-response curves to the right without depressing the maximum effect. 4. In none of the tissues did phenoxybenzamine at any concentration shift the concentration-response curve of phenylephrine to the right without depressing its maximum. 5. All these results indicate that in the dog saphenous vein there is a 'false' alpha-adrenoceptor reserve for noradrenaline, since two kinds of receptors participate in the response to this amine. 6. The calculation of the occupancy-response relationship for the renal artery showed that 24% of the maximal response occurs when only 2% of alpha 1-adrenoceptors are activated and 50% of maximum at 9% occupation. However, for 95% of the maximal response an 83% occupancy is required. Similar values were calculated for the mesenteric artery. 7. Thus, the surplus alpha-adrenoceptors which is very large for a half-maximal response becomes smaller and smaller as the magnitude of the response increases and probably disappears at the 100% response level. 8. If we retain the original definition of 'spare receptors' - receptors in 'excess' of those required to produce a maximal response, we conclude, that there is no receptor reserve in the dog mesenteric and renal arteries. |

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.
