LOCAL EFFECT OF 1-EPINEPHRINE AND LEVARTERENOL UPON RESISTANCE TO BLOOD FLOW IN THE RENAL VASCULAR BED OF THE DOG

Abstract

Isotonic solutions of equal quantities by weight of the active bases of 1-epinephrine and levarterenol were infused directly into the renal vascular bed of 12 dogs under constant arterial inflow while measuring arterial and venous pressure differences. It was determined that while both pressor amines produce renal vasoconstriction, 1-epinephrine was significantly more potent over the infusion rate range 0.49 micrograms/min to 4.94 micrograms/min.
