[Effect of histamine and nicotine on carbohydrate metabolic indices and the catecholamine balance in the vascular wall].

In experiments on cats subject to study was the effect of histamine and nicotine used in different doses on the level of "key" metabolites of the carbohydrate metabolism and on the catecholamines balance in the wall of vessels of different functional purpose at the instant of the maximum, bioelectric and motor response to a vasomotor agent. It was shown that the vasodilation phase observed after introduction of the mediatory type drugs was attended by activation of the carbohydrate metabolism this proving the energy-dependence of the relaxation process. The presence of variously oriented and differently marked changes in the content of the carbohydrate metabolites in vessels vessels of diverse functional purpose made it possible to classify the vessels according to the type of metabolism, which coincides with their functional purpose.
