The duration of biological activity of pindolol following short and long term application was tested using a modified isoproterenol-sensitivity-test. Following a single dose of pindolol the beta-blocking activity in uremics was increased to twice the activity seen in normal controls. Following daily oral application of 10 mg Pindolol over a number of weeks the beta-blockade observed in patients with chronic renal failure was significantly stronger and the duration of action was 6 times longer than in normal controls.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
