Key result
Acetylcholine attenuated norepinephrine-induced pressure responses in canine tibia by 62%, an effect abolished by inhibiting prostaglandin and EDRF synthesis (p<0.0001).
Why the study?
Does acetylcholine infusion modify norepinephrine-induced perfusion pressure responses in canine tibia?
Does acetylcholine infusion modify norepinephrine-induced perfusion pressure responses in canine tibia?

Supports endothelial regulation of canine bone perfusion; leaves open translation to human orthopedic ischemia or healing.
Davis et al. (1992) studied this question. Acetylcholine infusion vs. Control conditions was evaluated on Increases in perfusion pressure caused by norepinephrine (p=<0.0001). Acetylcholine attenuated norepinephrine-induced pressure responses in canine tibia by 62%, an effect abolished by inhibiting prostaglandin and EDRF synthesis (p<0.0001).
