The objective of this study was to determine whether blockade of alpha(-2) adrenergic receptors would restore reticulorumen motility during toxaemia in cows. Reticulorumen contractions were measured via a water-filled balloon connected to a pressure transducer. Intravenous infusion of endotoxin (100 ng kg-1 over 30 min) significantly decreased the number of reticulorumen contractions. Intravenous infusion of yohimbine (125 micrograms kg-1 over 30 min) alone did not affect reticulorumen contractions. However, when yohimbine (125 micrograms kg-1 over 30 min) was infused concurrently with endotoxin (100 ng kg-1 over 30 min), the effects of endotoxin on reticulorumen contraction frequency decreased, suggesting that endotoxaemia causes reticulorumen stasis via a mechanism that involves alpha(-2) adrenergic receptors.
本研究的目的是确定阻断α-2肾上腺素能受体是否能恢复奶牛毒血症期间瘤网胃的运动性。通过连接压力传感器的充水气球测量瘤网胃收缩。静脉输注内毒素(30分钟内100 ng/kg)显著减少瘤网胃收缩次数。单独静脉输注育亨宾(30分钟内125μg/kg)不影响瘤网胃收缩。然而,当育亨宾(30分钟内125μg/kg)与内毒素(30分钟内100 ng/kg)同时输注时,内毒素对瘤网胃收缩频率的影响降低,这表明内毒素血症通过涉及α-2肾上腺素能受体的机制导致瘤网胃停滞。
