Adrenaline was infused intravenously in nine normal volunteers to plasma concentrations similar to those found after myocardial infarction. This study was undertaken on three occasions after 5 days' treatment with placebo or the beta-adrenoceptor antagonists, atenolol or timolol. Adrenaline increased the systolic pressure by 11 mmHg, decreased the diastolic pressure by 14 mmHg, and increased the heart rate by 7 beats/min. These changes were prevented by atenolol. However, after timolol the diastolic pressure rose (+19 mmHg) and heart rate fell (-8 beats/min). Adrenaline caused the corrected QT interval (QTc) to lengthen (0.36 +/- 0.02 s to 0.41 +/- 0.06 s). No significant changes were found in the QTc when subjects were pretreated with atenolol or timolol. The serum potassium fell from 4.06 to 3.22 mmol/l after adrenaline. Serum potassium fell to a lesser extent to 3.67 mmol/l after atenolol and actually increased to 4.25 mmol/l after timolol. Adrenaline-mediated hypokalaemia appears to result from the stimulation of a beta 2-adrenoceptor linked to membrane Na+/K+-ATPase causing potassium influx.
对9名正常志愿者静脉输注肾上腺素,使其血浆浓度达到与心肌梗死后相似的水平。本研究在给予安慰剂或β-肾上腺素受体拮抗剂阿替洛尔或噻吗洛尔治疗5天后进行了3次。肾上腺素使收缩压升高11 mmHg,舒张压降低14 mmHg,心率增加7次/分钟。这些变化被阿替洛尔阻止。然而,在使用噻吗洛尔后,舒张压升高(+19 mmHg),心率下降(-8次/分钟)。肾上腺素使校正QT间期(QTc)延长(从0.36±0.02秒延长至0.41±0.06秒)。当受试者用阿替洛尔或噻吗洛尔预处理时,QTc未发现显著变化。肾上腺素作用后血清钾从4.06 mmol/L降至3.22 mmol/L。阿替洛尔作用后血清钾下降幅度较小,降至3.67 mmol/L,而噻吗洛尔作用后血清钾实际上升至4.25 mmol/L。肾上腺素介导的低钾血症似乎是由于与膜Na+/K+-ATP酶相连的β2-肾上腺素受体受到刺激,导致钾内流所致。
