“…In beagle dogs, arterial lesions (principally in coronary vessels) were seen following administration of various xenobiotics, in particular, vasodilators (minoxidil, theobromine, hydralazine, adenosine agonists, and type In-phosphodiesterase inhibitors) and adrenergic mines (isoproterenol, norepinephrine, dopamine, and dobutamine) (9,10,22,27,34,35,50,5152). The picture is confounded by the observation that similar vascular lesions are reported to occur spontaneously in beagle dogs (9,20,47), although it is of note that the lesions occurring with PD 156707 were not seen in control animals.…”
