Abstract
The addition of norepinephrine to perfused rat livers and to collagenase isolated hepatocytes induced a marked and dose‐dependent magnesium efflux. The addition of β‐adrenergic receptor antagonists, but not α‐antagonists, completely blocked the Mg2+ efflux. The Mg2+ efflux could also be induced by forskolin and by permeable cAMP analogues. By contrast, the addition of carbachol or vasopressin induced a Mg2+ influx into isolated hepatocytes. These results indicate that a significant Mg2+ efflux from liver cells can be induced through the β‐adrenergic receptors and that it is mediated through the cytosolic cAMP levels.Keywords
