Abstract
Using [3H]-dihydroergocryptine, we identified myocardial alpha-adrenoceptor binding sites in foetal lambs and demonstrated that the concentration of receptors decreased with increasing foetal age. The presence of the receptor in the foetus correlated with the presence of myocardial alpha-adrenergic responsiveness. However, we found neither the alpha-receptor binding site nor responsiveness to alpha-adrenoceptor stimulation in the myocardium of adult sheep.Entities:
