Abstract
In 10 patients with exercise-induced asthma, oral indoramin, an .alpha.-adrenoreceptor blocking drug, was ineffective in preventing the post-exercise fall in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). The values of PEFR at rest increased after administration of indoramin, providing indirect evidence for the existence of .alpha.-receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle of asthmatic subjects.
