    Notes: Summary The comparative hemodynamic effects of dobutamine and dopamine were studied in 6 patients with low cardiac output resulting from acute myocardial infarction. Plasma levels of noradrenaline and renin were measured before and during a 5 µg/kg/min infusion of each of the drugs. Dobutamine had a more pronounced chronotropic effect, increased the systolic arterial pressure more and decreased the systemic vascular resistance less than dopamine at doses which had comparable effects on cardiac output. Dobutamine stimulated renin release, which might partly be the cause of the increased systolic arterial pressure. The drug reduced the plasma level of noradrenaline, which might be explained as a reflex reduction in sympathetic tone. Dopamine, however, did not stimulate renin release but it did enhance the plasma level of noradrenaline, which might be due mainly to the release of endogenous noradrenaline.

    Notes: Summary In order to study the function of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) in human plasma, dopamine, its natural substrate, was infused intravenously in 22 healthy volunteers. Their plasma DBH activities showed great interindividual variations (31–301 units/ml). The infusion rates of dopamine required to increase systolic blood pressure (BP) by 30 mm Hg differed considerably between the subjects, and ranged from 3,0 to 11,6 µg/kg/min. No correlation could be shown between the various dopamine doses and individual plasma levels of DBH. It was concluded, therefore, that plasma DBH in the blood stream was enzymatically inactive. Experiments with human plasma DBH in vitro also support this interpretation. Consequently, interindividual differences in the effects on BP during dopamine infusion cannot be due to pressor effects of noradrenaline synthesized by plasma DBH.

    Effects of acute and long-term beta-adrenoceptor blockade with propranolol on haemodynamics, plasma catecholamines and renin in essential hypertension (1982)

    Notes: Summary The effect of an acute intravenous and repeated oral doses of propranolol on haemodynamics, plasma and urinary catecholamines and plasma renin activity was studied in patients with essential hypertension. Intravenous injection of propranolol 5 mg produced a fall in cardiac output but had no consistent effect on blood pressure. Treatment with oral propranolol for 24 weeks lowered cardiac output and blood pressure; total peripheral resistance did not differ from the pretreatment values. Neither acute intravenous nor chronic oral administration of the beta-blocker affected the resting plasma levels of noradrenaline and adrenaline. Long-term treatment with propranolol reduced urinary excretion of vanilmandelic acid without affecting urinary catecholamine excretion. Acute intravenous injection of propranolol decreased plasma renin activity less than did chronic oral treatment with the drug. The observed time course of plasma renin activity was compatible with the view that suppression of this enzyme contributed to the antihypertensive effect of propranolol.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In 8 normotensive subjects and in 8 patients with essential hypertension total catecholamine content and dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) activity in plasma were measured at rest and during physical exercise. Catecholamine levels at rest were significantly higher in the hypertensive than in the normotensive persons whereas the 2 groups of subjects did not differ in DBH activity at rest. At a work load of 150 watts there was a more pronounced increase of the catecholamine concentrations and of the DBH activity in the hypertensive patients than in the normotensives. One may conclude from the data that there is an increased sympathetic nerve activity in patients with essential hypertension.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 8 Normotonikern sowie bei 8 Patienten mit essentieller Hypertonie wurden die Konzentrationen der Gesamtkatecholamine und die Aktivität der Dopamin-β-Hydroxylase (DBH) im Plasma unter Ruhebedingungen und während körperlicher Belastung gemessen. Bei den Hypertonikern waren die Ruhewerte der Katecholamine signifikant höher als bei den Normotonikern, während die DBH-Aktivität unter diesen Bedingungen bei beiden Gruppen gleich war. Bei einer Ergometerbelastung von 150 Watt stiegen die Katecholaminspiegel und die DHB-Aktivität bei den Hochdruckkranken stärker an als bei den Probanden mit normalem Blutdruck. Aus den Untersuchungsergebnissen kann man schließen, daß bei Patienten mit essentieller Hypertonie eine erhöhte Aktivität sympathischer Nerven besteht.
