Serotonin (5-HT), histamine, norepinephrine, methoxamine and isoproterenol caused dose-dependent contraction of human cerebral arteries. The potency of 5-HT was greater among test agents in the basilar arteries, whereas it was equivalent to that of norepinephrine in human anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries. Acetylcholine and carbachol (10(-9)-10(-5) M) caused a negligible response in human cerebral arteries. Contractile response to 5-HT was greater in the distal rather than middle portion of the human basilar arteries while this order was reversed in the response to norepinephrine. Tyramine (10(-4) M) caused tonic contraction and nicotine (10(-4) M) and electrical transmural stimulation produced phasic contraction of arteries which were antagonized by adrenergic blocking agents. Adenine nucleotides failed to cause relaxation and only high concentration of adenosine caused a minute relaxation. However, papaverine and nitroglycerin caused marked relaxation. These results suggest that adrenergic mechanism may play a role in the regulation of vascular tone in human cerebral arteries.
血清素(5-羟色胺,5-HT)、组胺、去甲肾上腺素、甲氧明和异丙肾上腺素可引起人脑动脉的剂量依赖性收缩。在受试药物中,5-HT对基底动脉的作用更强,而在大脑前、中、后动脉中,其作用与去甲肾上腺素相当。乙酰胆碱和卡巴胆碱(10⁻⁹ - 10⁻⁵ M)在人脑动脉中引起的反应可忽略不计。人基底动脉远端对5-HT的收缩反应大于中部,而去甲肾上腺素的反应顺序则相反。酪胺(10⁻⁴ M)引起强直性收缩,尼古丁(10⁻⁴ M)和经壁电刺激引起动脉的相位性收缩,这些反应可被肾上腺素能阻断剂拮抗。腺嘌呤核苷酸未能引起舒张,只有高浓度的腺苷引起轻微舒张。然而,罂粟碱和硝酸甘油引起明显舒张。这些结果表明,肾上腺素能机制可能在人脑血管张力调节中起作用。
