Abstract
The concentration dependenies of the chronotropic response and changes in blood supply to the isolated heart of 7-day-old newborn rats induced by application of α2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine hydrochloride in concentrations of 10-9-10-6 M were revealed. The minimum concentration of α2-adrenergic receptor agonist caused tachycardia, while higher concentrations led to bradycardia. The maximum effect manifesting in a decrease in coronary flow was recorded at the minimum concentration of the agonist, while the highest concentration had no effect on the coronary flow. When comparing these results with those obtained in control adult rats, we found that the most pronounced differences in the chronotropic effects were observed after addition of the minimum concentration of the α2-adrenergic receptor agonist: bradycardia in adult rats and tachycardia in newborns. The maximum differences in coronary flow parameters were observed after addition of α2-adrenergic receptor agonist in the maximum concentration that induced a two-phase response in adult rats and had no effect on the blood supply in newborns.Entities:
