RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 THE CHRONOTROPIC ACTION OF TYRAMINE STUDIED BY DIRECT PERFUSION OF THE SINUS NODE THROUGH ITS ARTERY JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 83 OP 88 VO 144 IS 1 A1 Thomas N. James A1 Reginald A. Nadeau YR 1964 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/144/1/83.abstract AB Tyramine injected into the sinus node artery produces more tachycardia (both in peak level and duration) in normal than in reserpinized dogs. The duration of sinus tachycardia from tyramine is much longer than that from norepinephnine administered in the same manner. The responsiveness to tyramine by the sinus node of reserpinized dogs can be transiently restored to normal with norepinephrine, hut not by isoproterenol. Norepinephrine injected into the sinus node artery of reserpinized dogs does not restore the accelerative response to stimulation of the stellate ganglion. The Williams & Wilkins Company
