TY - JOUR T1 - THE EFFECT OF A VASOCONSTRICTIVE AGENT, METARAMINOL, ON HUMAN TOLERANCE TO ACCELERATION JF - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO - J Pharmacol Exp Ther SP - 228 LP - 231 VL - 117 IS - 2 AU - Theodore Greiner Y1 - 1956/06/01 UR - http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/117/2/228.abstract N2 - Metaraminol in oral doses of 1 mgm. per kgm. increased tolerance to positive acceleration an average of 0.7 g-unit in 8 volunteers tested on the human centrifuge. This protection was far below that provided by the G-suit or by gradual induction of acceleration. Combination of metaraminol with either of these two systems provided no additional advantage. ER -
