“…As found by Morgan et al (1985), the increase in sensitivity is such that the concentrations of hormones that are inducing the effects on Ca2l fluxes is well within the physiological range. Buhler et al (1978), for example, have analysed the circulating glucagon and noradrenaline concentrations, finding these to be 0.1-0.01 nM. Conditions of severe stress, like some other conditions in vivo, cause a concomitant increase in plasma adrenaline and glucagon (Eigler et al, 1979).…”

“…However, this response is lost after 2 wk of age. Although substantially lower than levels reached during labor, resting postnatal epinephrine levels (19) are above the threshold for absorption in the fetus, and it was naturally assumed (18) that this mechanism was sufficient to account for the postnatal absorptive phenotype. However, more recent work (63) does not support this hypothesis.…”

Barker, Pierre M., and Richard E. Olver. Invited Review: Clearance of lung liquid during the perinatal period. J Appl Physiol 93: 1542-1548, 2002; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00092.2002.-At birth, the distal lung epithelium undergoes a profound phenotypic switch from secretion to absorption in the course of adaptation to air breathing. In this review, we describe the developmental regulation of key membrane transport proteins and the way in which epinephrine, oxygen, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones interact to bring about this crucial change in function. Evidence from molecular, transgenic, cell culture, and whole lung studies is presented, and the clinical consequences of the failure of the physiological mechanisms that underlie perinatal lung liquid absorption are discussed. lung liquid; sodium absorption; chloride secretion; epithelial sodium channel; cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator THE MECHANISMS RESPONSIBLE for lung liquid clearance during the neonatal period develop gradually during the latter part of the third trimester of pregnancy, but the phenotypic switch of the lung epithelium from net secretion to net absorption, triggered by events at birth, is sudden. Although lung liquid absorption at birth is "a performance without rehearsal," the lung may be called on for an encore in later life when these same mechanisms are activated to clear accumulated edema liquid.Many of the early studies of perinatal lung liquid clearance, which were mostly undertaken on the intact lungs of rabbits and sheep in the 1970s and 1980s, provided information in vivo on the time course and regulation of lung liquid clearance in a fully integrated physiological context. These data have been supported and augmented in the past decade by cloning of genes that regulate transepithelial ion transport [particularly the sodium pump (Na ϩ -K ϩ -ATPase) and the epithelial Na ϩ channel (ENaC)] and the use of molecular approaches that have uncovered information at a subcellular level.

IN 1858 Claude Bemarde summarized much of his research into the physiology of the control of the circulation by the statement that the sympathetic nervous system acted as a "vasoconstrictor nerve." Subsequent study has shown that this division of the autonomic nervous system, although not always constrictor, exerts a control over the tone of both arteries and veins, which is of profound physiological significance. The influence on a particular vascular segment, however, varies widely, both qualitatively and quantitatively, according to its location within the vascular tree.In this brief review, three general patterns of sympathetic control of vascular tone are described (Fig. 1). These are patterns of neuromuscular organization and are distinguished on the basis of both anatomical and functional criteria derived from in vitro studies. They are specific types of relationships between the contractile system of the blood vessel wall, particularly the individual vascular smooth muscle cells, and the postganglionic adrenergic neural terminations. Their adequate description includes a detailed consideration of the transmitter mechanism that links the two types of cells. In general, these patterns vary with vessel diameter and function. In each instance the different neuromuscular organization reflects a different functional role of the blood vessel. Although for convenience, three basic patterns of neuroeffector organization are presented, these are disparate examples selected from the two extremes and probably the middle of a wide-ranging continuum. They have been recognized by parallel structural and functional investigation, the results of which complement each other.

Plasma adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine in man and different animal species

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The catecholamines adrenaline (A), noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) were determined in plasma samples of man and various animal species using a highly sensitive radioenzymatic method.2
