Rat Blood Pressure DEMO

Effects of Catecholamines

In this program we will use the drug names adrenaline and noradrenaline rather than epinephrine and nor-epinephrine while recognising that in some countries the latter are the preferred names.

You will be presented with responses to a low (1 nmole/kg) and a high (10 nmole/kg) dose of adrenaline, a dose of noradrenaline (20 nmole/kg) and a dose of isoprenaline (1 nmole/kg).

Tabulate, for each response, the maximum change in heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure.
