    Notes: Summary The effects of some β-adrenergic antagonists such as acebutolol, propranolol, pindolol and oxprenolol (1–1000 μM) were studied on the rat heart sarcolemmal Ca2+ transport activities. Pindolol enhanced sarcolemmal ATP-dependent Ca2+ binding and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase whereas acebutolol had no effect. Both propranolol and oxprenolol had biphasic actions on the sarcolemmal Ca2+ pump activities; the lower concentrations (1 and 10 μM) were stimulatory, but the higher concentrations (100 and 1000 μM) were inhibitory. None of the drugs used in this study had any effect on Mg2+ ATPase and non-specific Ca2+ binding activities of heart sarcolemma except that 1000 μM propranolol decreased Mg2+ ATPase activity significantly. Mitochondrial and microsomal ATP-dependent Ca2+ binding activities were unaffected by these drugs (1–1000 μM), except that 1000 μM propranolol was inhibitory. These results suggest differences among various β-adrenergic blocking drugs with respect to their actions on sarcolemmal Ca2+ pump in the myocardium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurde der Einfluß eines chronischen, experimentellen Diabetes auf die adrenergen Rezeptoren des Rattenherzens untersucht. Diabetes wurde durch Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg i.v.) erzeugt. Die Untersuchungen wurden 8 Wochen nach Verabreichung durchgeführt. Es wurden positive und negative dF/dt-Werte (Geschwindigkeit der Kraftentwicklung) von isolierten Papillarmuskeln bestimmt. Die durch Isoproterenol und Methoxamin gesteigerte Kraftentwicklung war bei Ratten mit Diabetes vermindert. Die Bindungseigenschaften von Beta-und Alpha-rezeptoren in den Membranen des Herzens wurden mit Hilfe von3H-dihydroalprenolol und3H-dihydroergocryptin bestimmt. Im diabetischen Myokard war die Zahl der Beta- und Alpharezeptor-Bindungsstellen vermindert, nicht jedoch die Affinitätskonstanten. Die verringerte Beta- und Alpharezeptoren-Dichte im Herz könnte für die verminderte Ansprechbarkeit der Mechanik auf adrenerge Reize bei der diabetischen Kardiomyopathie verantwortlich sein.
    Notes: Summary The effect of chronic experimental diabetes on the adrenergic receptors in the rat heart was investigated. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (65 mg/kg; i.v.) administration, animals were sacrificed 8 weeks later, and positive as well as negative dF/dt values were determined in isolated papillary muscle preparations. Stimulation of the contractile force generation by isoproterenol and methoxamine was attenuated in diabetic preparations. Beta-and alpha-adrenergic receptor bindings were determined in cardiac membranes by employing3H-dihydroalprenolol and3H-dihydroergocryptine respectively. Reduced number of beta- and alpha-receptor binding sites without changes in the affinity constants were observed in diabetic myocardium. Such a decrease in alpha- and beta-receptor density in the heart may account for the depressed contractile responsiveness to adrenergic stimuli in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
