Randomized trial shows the role of adrenergic receptors in vasodepressor reactions in rats, indicating therapeutic implications.

To investigate the vasodepressor reactions induced by inferior vena cava occlusion combined with isoproterenol in rats.
Conducted inferior vena cava occlusion for 60 seconds in rats under different drug conditions.
Measured maximal changes in RR interval during occlusion with isoproterenol, dobutamine, and salbutamol.
Administered beta-adrenergic antagonists to evaluate their effects on the vasodepressor reaction.
Isoproterenol led to a significant slowing of heart rate (delta RR +92.7 ms, P < .001) during occlusion.
Dobutamine also caused bradycardia (delta RR +63.3 ms, P < .001), while salbutamol did not induce a vasodepressor reaction (delta RR -11.4 ms, P < .002).
The vasodepressor reaction was inhibited by beta 1-antagonists like atenolol, indicating the major role of beta 1-adrenergic receptors.

Waxman et al. (1994) studied this question.
