Abstract
Spontaneously beating hearts from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were used to examine the adrenergic regulation of the perfused coronary circulation. Excitatory α-adrenoceptors (vasoconstriction) dominated over inhibitory β-adrenoceptors (vasodilatation). Increased heart rate via β-adrenergic stimulation was possible with drug injections into the coronary artery. The heart rate effects followed the vasoactive effect by approximately 2 min.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
