Abstract
This study analyzed how glyphosate exposure in the gestational period affects vascular function in their female offspring and whether oxidative stress is involved in this effect. To this, pregnant Wistar rats were exposed through drinking water to 0.2% of a glyphosate commercial formulation, and we analyzed the response to acetylcholine and phenylephrine in the aorta from offspring of Glyphosate-based herbicide (O-GBH) and controls (O-CON) rats at six months of age. Relaxation to acetylcholine was reduced in O-GBH than in O-CON. Acute Indomethacin and Apocynin increased relaxation to acetylcholine in O-GBH. The aorta from O-GBH was hyperactive to phenylephrine; the preincubation with N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) increased contraction to phenylephrine more in O-CON than O-GBH. TEMPOL similarly reduced phenylephrine response, and L-NAME prevented this effect. The TBARS and GSH levels were increased in O-GBH than in O-CON. Results reinforce the concept that oxidative stress during the perinatal period contributes to the development of vascular changes in adulthood. Results also reveal that oxidative stress parameters altered, and the current levels considered safe for exposure to Glyphosate deserve further investigation, especially in the female gender.

Abstract
Peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (PEX5) is a member of peroxisome biogenesis protein family which serves as a shuttle receptor for the import of peroxisome matrix protein. The function of PEX5 on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy remained to be elucidated. Our study demonstrated that the protein expression level of PEX5 was declined in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes treated with phenylephrine (PE) and hearts from cardiac hypertrophic rats induced by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC). Overexpression of PEX5 alleviated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by PE, while silencing of PEX5 exacerbated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. PEX5 improved redox imbalance by decreasing cellular reactive oxygen species level and preserving peroxisomal catalase. Moreover, PEX5 knockdown aggravated PE-induced activation of redox-sensitive signaling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3); whereas PEX5 overexpression suppressed activation of MAPK and STAT3. But PEX5 did not affect PE-induced phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In conclusion, the present study suggests that PEX5 protects cardiomyocyte against hypertrophy via regulating redox homeostasis and inhibiting redox-sensitive signaling pathways MAPK and STAT3.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG), the active compound extracted from Eucommia ulmoides, Styrax sp. and Forsythia suspensa, plays the roles in regulating hypertension, inflammation and oxidative stress. AIMS Considering that hypertension and inflammation has been proved to contribute to cardiac remodeling, we tested the effects of PDG on cardiac hypertrophy (CM). METHODS Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used to construct hypertrophic rats by partial abdominal aortic constriction (AAC)-surgery. PDG solution (2 mg/ml) was used to treat AAC-induced rats by intraperitoneal injection at low dose (L-PDG, 2.5 mg/kg per day), medium dose (M-PDG, 5 mg/kg per day), and high dose (H-PDG, 7.5 mg/kg per day) for 3 weeks post AAC-surgery. CM was evaluated by the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight ratio (LVW/BW), left ventricular wall thickness by H&E staining, and collagen content deposit by Masson's staining. Further, isoproterenol (ISO) and phenylephrine (PE) were used to produce cellular models of CM in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVMs). PDG pre-treated NRVMs 2 h at low dose (L-PDG, 2.5 μg/ml), medium dose (M-PDG, 5 μg/ml), and high dose (H-PDG, 7.5 μg/ml) for 24 h with or without PE- and ISO-stimulation. CM was evaluated by the expressions of hypertrophic biomarkers. Next, the hypertrophic biomarkers and pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), the expressions of protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) signaling pathway were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS PDG treatment prevented cardiac histomorphology damages, decreased upregulations of hypertrophic biomarkers, and prevented fibrosis and inflammation after pressure overload resulting from AAC-surgery. Consistently, PDG remarkably inhibited the changes of cardiomyocyte hypertrophic biomarkers and inflammatory responses in cellular models of CM. Interestingly, PDG administration inhibited the activation of AKT/mTOR/NF-kB signaling pathway both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS PDG prevents AAC-induced CM in vivo, PE- and ISO-induced CM in vitro. The AKT/mTOR/NF-kB signaling pathway could be the potential therapeutic target involved in the protection of PDG. These findings provide novel evidence that PDG might be a promising therapeutic strategy for CM.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 4 (NFATc4), a nuclear transcription factor, has been implicated in cardiac hypertrophy through the enhancement of hypertrophic gene expression. However, the role of NFATc4 in mitochondrial modulation is mostly unknown. The current study aimed to investigate the role of NFATc4 in regulating mitochondrial function during phenylephrine (PE)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Our results showed that overexpression of NFATc4 aggravated the PE-induced decrease in mitochondrial genesis, membrane potential, and mitochondrial gene expression as well as impaired mitochondrial respiration. However, knockdown of NFATc4 relieved PE-induced perturbations in mitochondria and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Mechanistically, by activating phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 and promoting a combination of AKT and phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1, phosphorylation and sequential acetylation of PGC-1α were aggravated by NFATc4 and suppressed the activity of PGC-1α. In conclusion, NFATc4-regulated factors were shown to be associated with mitochondrial function and exacerbated PE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings revealed new roles of NFATc4 in cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
In the present study, the toxicity of phenylephrine, a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist, in corneal epithelial cells and its underlying mechanisms were investigated using an in vitro model of human corneal epithelial cells (HCEPCs) and an in vivo model of New Zealand white rabbit corneas. The HCEPCs treated with phenylephrine at concentrations from 10% to 0.078125% displayed abnormal morphology, decline of cell viability and elevation of plasma membrane permeability time- and dose-dependently. Moreover, 10%-1.25% phenylephrine induce necrosis characteristics of marginalization and uneven distribution of chromatin through up-regulation of RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL along with inactivation of caspase-8 and caspase-2, whereas 0.625% phenylephrine induced condensed chromatin, S phase arrest, phosphatidylserine externalization, DNA fragmentation and apoptotic body formation in the HCECs through activation of caspase-2, -8, -9 and -3 as well as down-regulation of Bcl-2, up-regulation of Bad, ΔΨm disruption and release of cytochrome c and AIF into cytosol. At last, 10% phenylephrine induced destruction of the corneal epithelia and apoptosis of corneal epithelial cells in rabbit corneas. In conclusion, 10% to 1.25% phenylephrine cause necroptosis via RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL axis and 0.625% phenylephrine induce apoptosis via a mitochondrion-dependent and death receptor-mediated signal pathway in HCEPCs.

Abstract
19-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (19-HETE, 1), a metabolically and chemically labile cytochrome P450 eicosanoid, has diverse biological activities including antagonism of the vasoconstrictor 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE, 2). A SAR study was conducted to develop robust analogs of 1 with improved in vitro and in vivo efficacy. Analogs were screened in vitro for inhibition of 20-HETE-induced sensitization of rat renal preglomerular microvessels toward phenylephrine and demonstrated to normalize the blood pressure of male Cyp4a14(-/-) mice that display androgen-driven, 20-HETE-dependent hypertension.

Abstract
Previous animal studies have shown that the administration of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus can provide a protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion and necrotic injury to the intestine, liver, and heart, as well as a therapeutic effect to the outcome of ischemic injury to the heart, including cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. We hypothesized that L. rhamnosus GR-1 major secreted protein 1 (MSP-1), also known as p75, plays a major role in this phenomenon. Experiments using neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes showed that live and dead GR-1 bacteria, probiotic-conditioned media, and other probiotic species and strains inhibited the α1-adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine-induced hypertrophy as assessed by markers atrial natriuretic peptide and α-skeletal actin. However, using a mutant strain, we showed that this MSP-1 was not required for the inhibition. The ability of factors produced by lactobacilli to improve cardiac function warrants further study for the management of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is involved in the hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes. The signaling mechanisms of SOCE contributing to cardiac hypertrophy following phenylephrine (PE) stimulation are not fully understood. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II δ (CaMKIIδ) plays an important role in regulating intracellular Ca2+ hemostasis and function in the cardimyocytes. This study is aimed to determine the role of CaMKIIδ in regulating the PE-induced myocardial hypertrophy and the associated molecular signaling mechanisms. We used primary cultures of neonatal cardimyocytes isolated from the left ventricle of Sprague Dawley rats to investigate the effects of CaMKIIδ on myocardial hypertrophy and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. We found that the expression of CaMKIIδ was enhanced in PE-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. CaMKIIδ siRNA, CaMKII inhibitor KN93, and SOCE blocker BTP2 attenuated the increase in the expression of CaMKIIδ and normalized the hypertrophic markers, atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide, and size of cardiomyocytes induced by PE stimulation. The protein level of stromal interaction molecule 1 and Orai1, the essential components of the SOCE, is also enhanced in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, which were normalized by CaMKIIδ siRNA and KN93 treatment. Hypertrophic cardiomyocytes showed an increase in the peak of Ca2+ transient following store depletion, which was inhibited by SOCE blocker BTP2, CaMKIIδ siRNA, and KN93. The Ca2+ currents through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels were increased in PE-treated cardiomyocytes and were attenuated by CaMKIIδ siRNA and KN93. These data indicate that PE-induced myocardial hypertrophy requires a complex signaling pathway that involves activation of both CaMKIIδ and SOCE. In conclusion, these studies reveal that up-regulation of CaMKIIδ may contribute to the PE-induced myocardial hypertrophy through the activation of SOCE expressed in the cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Qiliqiangxin (QL), a traditional Chinese medicine, has long been used to treat chronic heart failure. Previous studies demonstrated that QL could prevent cardiac remodeling and hypertrophy in response to hypertensive or ischemic stress. However, little is known about whether QL could modulate cardiac hypertrophy in vitro, and (if so) whether it is through modulation of specific hypertrophy-related microRNA. METHODS The primary neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated, cultured, and treated with phenylephrine (PE, 50 µmol/L, 48 h) to induce hypertrophy in vitro, in the presence or absence of pretreatment with QL (0.5 µg/ml, 48 h). The cell surface area was determined by immunofluorescent staining for α-actinin. The mRNA levels of hypertrophic markers including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and β-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) were assayed by qRT-PCRs. The protein synthesis of cardiomyocytes was determined by the protein/DNA ratio. The miR-199a-5p expression level was quantified in PE-treated cardiomyocytes and heart samples from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mouse model. MiR-199a-5p overexpression was used to determine its role in the anti-hypertrophic effect of QL on cardiomyocytes. RESULTS PE induced obvious enlargement of cell surface in cardiomyocytes, paralleling with increased ANP, BNP, and MYH7 mRNA levels and elevated protein/DNA ratio. All these changes were reversed by the treatment with QL. Meanwhile, miR-199a-5p was increased in AMI mouse heart tissues. Of note, the increase of miR-199a-5p in PE-treated cardiomyocytes was reversed by the treatment with QL. Moreover, overexpression of miR-199a-5p abolished the anti-hypertrophic effect of QL on cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSION QL prevents PE-induced cardiac hypertrophy. MiR-199a-5p is increased in cardiac hypertrophy, while reduced by treatment with QL. miR-199a-5p suppression is essential for the anti-hypertrophic effect of QL on cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In Thailand, hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is routinely treated by ephedrine. As incidence of fetal acidosis reportedly increases resulting from placental transfer of ephedrine, phenylephrine, an alpha-1 agonist with less lipid solubility, becomes an alternative. However, the potential development of serious bradycardia after phenylephrine is a concern. The objectives of this study were to investigate the incidence of serious bradycardia and identify risk factors associated with phenylephrine-induced serious bradycardia and other side effects of phenylephrine. MATERIAL AND METHOD This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between July 1, 2014 and March 15, 2015 on 509 parturients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Predelivery hypotension was treated by intravenous phenylephrine 100 mcg and pretherapeutic heart rate (pHR) was recorded. If serious bradycardia (HR < 60 bpm and hypotension or HR <45 bpm) developed, atropine 0.6 mg was administered intravenously. Data were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and AuROC. RESULTS Incidence of serious bradycardia was 11% (95% CI: 8.0-14.0). A one bpm increment increase in pHR reduced this incidence by 4% (adjusted OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.94-0.98, p < 0.001; AuROC: 0.76). As compared to apHR greater than 80 bpm, apHR of 61 to 80 bpm and a pHR of 60 bpm or lower increased the risk of serious bradycardia by 3.55 times and 12.81 times, respectively. Other risk factors were height (adjusted OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.89-0.98, p = 0.015), baseline DBP (adjusted OR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.94-0.99,p = 0.03), and anesthetic level at first minute (adjusted OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.02-1.23, p = 0.02). Benign and temporary abnormal ECG readings were noted. CONCLUSION Phenylephrine for antihypotensive treatment in spinal anesthesia induces bradycardia. Findings indicate an association between slower HR at time phenylephrine is administered and serious bradycardia. Close ECG monitoring and prompt treatment are required.

Abstract
A hollow microneedle (HM) was prepared to deliver a phenylephrine (PE) solution into the anal sphincter muscle as a method for treating fecal incontinence. The goal of this study was the local targeted delivery of PE into the sphincter muscle through the perianal skin with minimal pain using hollow microneedles, resulting in the increase of resting anal sphincter pressure. PE was administered on the left and the right sides of the anus of a rat through the perianal skin using 1.5mm long HM. An in vivo imaging system study was conducted after injection of Rhodamine B, and a histological study was performed after injection of gentian violet. The resting anal sphincter pressure in response to various drug doses was measured by using an air-charged catheter. Anal pressure change produced by HM administration was compared with change produced by intravenous injection (IV), subcutaneous (SC) injection and intramuscular (IM) injection. The change in mean blood pressure produced by HM administration as a function of PE dose was compared with change produced by PBS injection. A pharmacokinetic study of the new HM administration method was performed. A model drug solution was localized in the muscle layer under the perianal skin at the injection site and then diffused out over time. HM administration of PE induced significant contraction of internal anal sphincter pressure over 12h after injection, and the maximum anal pressure was obtained between 5 and 6h. Compared to IV, SC and IM treatments, HM treatment produced greater anal pressure. There was no increase in blood pressure after HM administration of PE within the range of predetermined concentration. Administration of 800μg/kg of PE using HM produced 0.81±0.38h of tmax. Our study suggests that HM administration enables local delivery of a therapeutic dose of PE to the anal sphincter muscle layer with less pain. This new treatment has great potential as a clinical application because of the ease of the procedure, minimal pain, and dose-dependent response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient preceding brief ischemia provides potent cardioprotection against subsequent long ischemia, termed ischemic preconditioning. Here, we hypothesized that transient short-term hypertrophic stimulation would induce the expression of hypertrophy regression genes and render the heart resistant to subsequent hypertrophic stress, and slow the progression to heart failure, as well. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced in mice by either transverse aortic constriction or an infusion of phenylephrine, and in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes by norepinephrine exposures. In the preconditioning groups, hypertrophic stimulation was provided for 1 to 7 days and then withdrawn for several days by either aortic debanding or discontinuing phenylephrine or norepinephrine treatment, followed by subsequent reexposure to the hypertrophic stimulus for the same period as in the control group. One or 6 weeks after transverse aortic constriction, the heart weight/body weight ratio was lower in the preconditioning group than in the control group, whereas the lung weight/body weight ratio was significantly decreased 6 weeks after transverse aortic constriction. Similar results were obtained in mice receiving phenylephrine infusion and neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes stimulated with norepinephrine. Both mRNA and protein expression of S100A8 and S100A9 showed significant upregulation after the removal of hypertrophic stimulation and persisted for 6 weeks in response to reimposition of transverse aortic constriction. The treatment with recombinant S100A8/A9 inhibited norepinephrine-induced myocyte hypertrophy and reduced the expression of calcineurin and NFATc3, but the silencing of S100A8/A9 prevented such changes. CONCLUSIONS Preconditioning with prohypertrophic factors exerts an antihypertrophic effect and slows the progression of heart failure, indicating the existence of the phenomenon for hypertrophic preconditioning.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the reorganization of left ventricular myocardium (LVM) in ovariectomized rats with experimental heart failure (EHF) as affected by melatonin administration. Rat LVM was studied using the methods of light microscopy, immunocytochemistry and morphometry. At day 14 of EHF, marked heteromorphism of contractile cardiomyocytes (CMC), signs of dystrophy, overcontraction and damage of muscle fibers, karyopyknosis, paranuclear edema, local sarcoplasm destruction were detected together with CMC showing signs of apoptosis. At day 28 after EHF modeling, a further increase in the number of CMC with significant changes in the morphological and tinctorial properties was found as well as the cells with signs of apoptosis. In rats given melatonin for 14 days, there was a regression of pathological changes, with the decrease in the hypertrophy of CMC and their nuclei, reduction of the number of CMC with the signs of apoptosis. Cardioprotective effect of melatonin on LVM of ovariectomized rats with EHF is discussed.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) contributes to morbidity in children, and boys are disproportionately represented. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) contributes to impaired autoregulation via oxygen (O₂⁻) after TBI in piglets, but its relative role in males compared with females has not been previously investigated. Increased cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) via phenylephrine (Phe) sex dependently improves impairment of autoregulation after TBI through modulation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) upregulation, aggravated in males, but blocked in females. Activation of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and Ca sensitive K channels produce vasodilation, contributing to autoregulation. We hypothesized that ET-1 upregulation is greater in males after TBI and that disturbed autoregulation will be prevented by Phe in a sex-dependent manner through modulation of ET-1, O₂⁻, and ERK. Results show that ET-1 release was greater in males after fluid percussion injury (FPI), blunted by Phe in females, but aggravated in males. K channel vasodilation was impaired more in males than in females after TBI. Phe prevented reductions in K channel vasodilation in females, but further reduced dilation in males after TBI. Co-administration of BQ-123, U0126, or PEG-SOD (ET-1, ERK antagonist, and O₂⁻ scavenger) with Phe restored dilation to K agonists and hypotension in males after TBI. ERK upregulation was blocked by BQ-123 and PEG-SOD. These data indicate that TBI upregulates ET-1 more in males than in females. Elevation of CPP with Phe sex dependently prevents impairment of cerebral autoregulation after TBI through modulation of ET-1, O₂⁻, and ERK mediated impairment of K channel vasodilation. These observations advocate for the consideration of development of sex-based therapies for the treatment of hemodynamic sequelae of pediatric TBI.

Abstract
We endeavored to use a basic and well-controlled experimental system to characterize the extent and time sequence of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) involvement in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, including transcription, protein expression, Ca(2+) transport, and cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signaling. To this end, hypertrophy of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes in culture was obtained after adrenergic activation with phenylephrine (PE). Micrographic assessment of myocyte size, rise of [(14)C]phenylalanine incorporation and total protein expression, and increased transcription of atrial natriuretic factor demonstrated unambiguously the occurrence of hypertrophy. An early and prominent feature of hypertrophy was a reduction of the SERCA2 transcript, as determined by RT-PCR with reference to a stable marker such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Reduction of Ca(2+)-ATPase protein levels and Ca(2+) transport activity to approximately 50% of control values followed with some delay, evidently as a consequence of a primary effect on transcription. Cytosolic Ca(2+) signaling kinetics, measured with a Ca(2+)-sensitive dye after electrical stimuli, were significantly altered in hypertrophic myocytes. However, the effect of PE hypertrophy on cytosolic Ca(2+) signaling kinetics was less prominent than observed in myocytes subjected to drastic SERCA2 downregulation with small interfering RNA or inhibition with thapsigargin (10 nM). We conclude that SERCA2 undergoes significant downregulation after hypertrophic stimuli, possibly due to lack of SERCA gene involvement by the hypertrophy transcriptional program. The consequence of SERCA2 downregulation on Ca(2+) signaling is partially compensated by alternate Ca(2+) transport mechanisms. These alterations may contribute to a gradual onset of functional failure in long-term hypertrophy.

Abstract
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that arterial baroreflex dysfunction promotes the development of atherosclerosis. Experiment 1: the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was measured in 30 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats in conscious state with a computerized blood pressure monitoring system. Four weeks later, the rats were administered with Vitamin D3, and fed with the high-cholesterol diet for 8 weeks to induce atherosclerosis. The hearts and aortae were removed for pathological examination. A negative correlation was found between BRS and the scores of coronary (r=-0.464, P<0.01) or aortic atherosclerosis (r=-0.524, P<0.01) in SD rats. Experiment 2: sinoaortic denervation (SAD) was performed in SD rats. Then atherosclerosis was also induced. The atherosclerosis scores in SAD rats were significantly higher than those in sham-operated rats (aortic score: 1.50+/-0.41 versus 1.10+/-0.39, P<0.05; coronary score: 1.70+/-0.35 versus 1.25+/-0.54, P<0.05). Using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting methods, it was found that the expressions of C-reactive protein, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular-cell adhesion molecule-1 in coronary artery and aorta were increased in SAD rats compared with sham-operated rats. These results indicate that arterial baroreflex dysfunction promotes the development of atherosclerosis in rats, and that inflammation may be involved in this process.

Abstract
Conventional therapy to treat hypertension often involves arterial vasodilation. Decrease of blood pressure by vasodilators is normally associated with adverse effects because of their low vascular selectivity. This is of interest to develop new molecules with potential for clinical use and fewer side effects. Recently, a new bioactive compound of the N-acylhydrazone class, LASSBio-294, was shown to produce a cardioinotropic effect and vasodilation. In this report, new derivatives of LASSBio-294 were designed and tested on the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle from Wistar rats. Phenylephrine-induced contracture in the aorta was inhibited by the derivatives LASSBio-785 and LASSBio-788. The concentrations necessary to cause 50% reduction of the maximal vascular response (IC50) were 10.2 +/- 0.5 and 67.9 +/- 6.5 microM. Vasodilation induced by both derivatives is likely to be mediated by a direct effect on smooth muscle because it was not dependent on the integrity of vascular endothelium. LASSBio-785 was seven times more potent than the reference compound LASSBio-294 (IC50 = 74 microM) in producing an endothelium-independent vasodilator effect.

Abstract
We have examined the effect of an intradermal injection of phenylephrine (1mg/0.1 ml), an alpha-1-adrenoceptor agonist in normal subjects, and patients with sympathetically-independent (SIP) and sympathetically-maintained pain (SMP). Normal subjects and SIP patients experienced only brief stinging pain, while subsets of both sympathectomized and non-sympathectomized SMP patients (6/9 and 4/8, respectively) experienced an additional abnormal pain response accompanied by mechano-allodynia around the injection site. Both the normal and abnormal pain response after intradermal phenylephrine are similar to those observed with intradermal norepinephrine. In contrast to previous reports in the literature, we found that three sympathectomized SMP patients (who, however, had failed to experience pain relief after surgical sympathectomy despite very good relief after sympathetic blocks) also experienced abnormal pain and mechano-allodynia when phenylephrine was injected to a limb contralateral to the symptomatic sympathectomized extremity. Abnormal pain response evoked by norepinephrine or phenylephrine injection in the ipsilateral symptomatic limb of SMP patients may be due to injury-evoked nociceptor responsiveness to catecholamines. However, such a response in contralateral asymptomatic limbs suggests an additional factor that more likely than not is of central origin and may or may not be related to sympathectomy and its success or failure to treat pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transgenic mouse models expressing a missense mutation (R92Q) or a splice donor site mutation (trunc) in the cardiac troponin T (cTnT) model familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) in humans. Although males from these strains share the unusual property of having significantly smaller ventricles and cardiac myocytes, they differ with regard to systolic function, fibrosis, and gene expression. Little is known about how these phenotypes affect the responses to additional pathological stimuli. METHODS AND RESULTS We tested the ability of hearts of both sexes of wild-type and mutant mice to respond to defined pathological, pharmacological, hypertrophic stimuli in vivo. Hearts of mutant cTnT models of both sexes were able to undergo hypertrophy in response to at least one stimulus, but the extent differed between the 2 mutants and was sex specific. Interestingly, the trunc-mutant mouse heart was resistant to the development of fibrosis in response to pharmacological stimuli. Stimulation with 2 adrenergic agonists led to sudden cardiac death of all male but not female mutant animals, which suggests altered adrenergic responsiveness in these 2 models of FHC. CONCLUSIONS Hypertrophic signaling is differentially affected by distinct mutations in cTnT and is sex modified. Hearts can respond with either an augmented hypertrophic and fibrotic response or a diminished hypertrophy and resistance to fibrosis. Sudden cardiac death is related to adrenergic stress and is independent of the development of fibrosis but occurred only in male mice. These results suggest that patients with certain TnT mutations may respond to certain pathological situations with a worsened phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical prostate hyperplasia, resembling PIN lesions in men, together with chronic inflammatory exudates, have been reported after chronic administration of phenylephrine (PE). The present study aims to characterize the evolution of the expression of typical leukocyte markers immunohistochemically as correlated to the promotion of PIN lesions. METHODS Adolescent rats received injections of PE (subcutaneously) (10 mg/kg BW/per day) and were euthanized 3, 8 hr, 1, 3, 7, 14 days thereafter. The dissected prostates were fixed in formalin, and paraffin embedded sections were cut and immunoreacted. RESULTS PE exerted a time related bi-phasic effect on the rat prostate. A first inflammatory reaction phase took place at 3-8 hr post injection characterized by vascular dilatation, congestion, edema, and massive leukocytic infiltrate, mainly of ED1+ cells. At 24 hr, the amount of ED1+ cells decreased approaching the equivalent values of ED2+, CD8+ cells, and mastocytes. Their values remained relatively high for the rest of the experimental period. A second phase of proliferative changes, consisting of healing fibrosis as well as dysplastic epithelial lesions, similar to human PIN lesions, appeared on the 7th day. CONCLUSIONS Neuro-immune interactions promote prostatic fibrosis and dysplastic changes; these being preceded by an acute and transient inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
Ethylene dibromide (EDB) has been used as a model compound for eliciting hepato- and nephrotoxicity. Conjugation with glutathione (GSH) has been shown to play a role in the bioactivation of EDB. The aim of this study was to determine whether activation of alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors, which causes a decrease in cellular GSH levels, could modulate the nephrotoxicity of EDB. For this purpose, male ICR mice were treated with EDB and/or the alpha-adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine (Pe), or the alpha-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine (Phe). Animals treated with EDB (40 mg/kg, i.p.) had a 9.3-fold increase in urinary gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP: EC 2.3.2.2) activity and a 38% decrease in renal non-protein bound sulfhydryl (NPSH) levels; however, animals co-treated with EDB and Pe (50 mg/kg, i.p.) exhibited a 27.8-fold increase in urinary GGTP activity and a 60% decrease in NPSH levels. The enhanced presence of urinary GGTP and decrease in cellular levels of NPSH was nearly blocked by treating animals concomitantly with EDB and Phe (10 mg/kg, i.p.) or EDB, Pe, and Phe. Histopathological examination revealed the enhanced degree of tissue damage and necrosis following treatment with EDB and Pe, and the protective effect of Phe at ameliorating EDB toxicity. These results indicate that factors that can influence alpha-adrenergic receptors may be critical in assessing dose-response data used in the risk assessment process.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is a major predictor of future morbidity and mortality. Recent investigation has centered around identifying the molecular signaling pathways that regulate cardiac myocyte reactivity with the goal of modulating pathologic hypertrophic programs. One potential regulator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is the calcium-sensitive phosphatase calcineurin. We show here that calcineurin enzymatic activity, mRNA, and protein levels are increased in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by hypertrophic agonists such as angiotensin II, phenylephrine, and 1% fetal bovine serum. This induction of calcineurin activity was associated with an increase in calcineurin Abeta (CnAbeta) mRNA and protein, but not in CnAalpha or CnAgamma. Agonist-dependent increases in calcineurin enzymatic activity were specifically inhibited with an adenovirus expressing a noncompetitive peptide inhibitor of calcineurin known as cain [Lai, M. M., Burnett, P. E., Wolosker, H., Blackshaw, S. & Snyder, S. H. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 18325-18331]. Targeted inhibition of calcineurin with cain or an adenovirus expressing only the calcineurin inhibitory domain of AKAP79 attenuated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and atrial natriuretic factor expression in response to angiotensin II, phenylephrine, and 1% fetal bovine serum. These data demonstrate that calcineurin is an important regulator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in response to certain agonists and suggest that cyclosporin A and FK506 function to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy by specifically inhibiting calcineurin.

Abstract
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF), a morphine modulatory peptide, is localized within discrete autonomic regions including the brainstem nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and the parabrachial nucleus (PBN). We investigated the activation of NPFF neurons in the NTS of rats induced by cardiovascular challenge and centrally generated opiate withdrawal. For hypotensive stimulation, we used systemic infusions of sodium nitroprusside (NP) or hemorrhage (HEM), and hypertension was achieved by intravenous phenylephrine (PHENYL) or angiotensin II (AII). In rats that received continuous intracerebroventricular injections of morphine, intraperitoneal injections of naloxone precipitated behavioural signs of opioid withdrawal. Activated NTS neurons were identified by using a combined immunohistochemistry for Fos and NPFF, and neurons projecting to the PBN were determined with a retrograde tracer. HEM, administration of vasoactive drugs, and opiate withdrawal produced a very robust activation of NTS neurons. In NP and HEM groups, 25.6+/-3.2% and 7.6+/-1.3% of NPFF neurons were activated, respectively. Lesser numbers of NPFF neurons were activated in the PHENYL (4.6+/-1.6%) and AII (2.4+/-0.8%) groups. However, following opiate withdrawal, virtually no Fos expression was observed in NPFF neurons. NPFF neurons activated during NP infusion constituted the largest number of cells projecting to the PBN. This study shows that NPFF neurons in NTS that project to the PBN respond selectively to NP as opposed to other cardiovascular challenges or opiate withdrawal. These data support an emerging and important role for NPFF in the context of central cardiovascular regulation.

Abstract
The pressor response induced by phenylephrine in the rat isolated mesenteric arterial bed was significantly increased following treatment with nocodazole, a drug that disassembles microtubules (10 microM, 90 min). This increase was even greater in the presence of nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibition, and completely reversed by paclitaxel (20 microM), a stabilizer of microtubules. These results demonstrate that disassembly of microtubules enhances vasoconstriction to receptor activation, suggesting that the microtubules modulate the transduction of intracellular signals in endothelium and vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes is a primary response of the heart to overload, and is an independent predictor of heart failure and death. Distinct cellular phenotypes are associated with hypertrophy resulting from different causes. These phenotypes have been described by others at the molecular level by analysis of gene transcription patterns. An alternative approach is the analysis of large-scale protein expression patterns (the proteome) by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Realization of this goal requires the ability to rigorously analyze complex 2D gel images, efficiently digest individual gel isolated proteins (especially those expressed at low levels), and analyze the resulting peptides with high sensitivity for rapid database searches. We have undertaken to improve the technology and experimental approaches to these challenges in order to effectively study a cell culture model for cardiac hypertrophy. The 2D gel patterns for cell lysates from multiple samples of cardiac myocytes with or without phenylephrine-induced hypertrophy were analyzed and spots which changed in abundance with statistical significance were located. Eleven such spots were identified using improved procedures for in-gel digestion of silver-stained proteins and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry. The incorporation of low levels of sodium dodecyl sulfate into the digestion buffer improved peptide recovery. The combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry for initial measurements and capillary liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry for peptide sequence determination yielded efficient protein identification. The integration of 2D gel image analysis and routine identification of proteins present in gels at the subpicomole level represents a general model for proteome studies relating genomic sequence with protein expression patterns.

Abstract
Experiments are carried out on 3000 mice, irradiated in dose 8 Gy (LD97/30). A number of phenolic hydroxyl esters of phenylephrine, norphenylephrine and epinephrine has the high RPE (70-100%) within 1 h before irradiation. 3-esters of 3-hydroxy phenylethanolamines are active in small doses (19-50 mumol/kg) and protect per os too. RPE of 3-benzoylphenylephrine realizes via alpha 1-adrenoreceptors.

Abstract
Experiments are carried out on 3400 mice, irradiated in dose 8 Gy (LD97/30). beta-Ketoanalogs of adrenaline (adrenalone, 50-150 mumol/kg), m,p-dipivaloyladrenaline (20 mumol/kg) and phenylephrine (but at 2070 mumol/kg) have the high radioprotective effect (survival is 60-100%), beta-ketoanalogs of isoprenaline and m-benzoylphenylephrine have the middle RPE (50-60%). Their effective doses (except dipivaloyladrenalone) are considerably bigger (in 9-76 times), than beta-hydroxysubstances doses, but the toxicity of benzoylphenylephrone, dipivaloyladrenalone and especially adrenalone is by far lower (consequently in 3, 8, 2, 7 and 136 times). Therapeutic indexes of beta-ketosubstances achieve 35-100.

Abstract
The antiischemic effect of drugs can be detected at a lower dose range if the cardiac workload is increased. A brief period of frequency-loading (ventricular overpacing = VOP) results in well-defined, reproducible changes in cardiac parameters in the conscious, chronically instrumented rabbit; however, rapid pacing frequently evoked ventricular tachycardia or even fatal ventricular fibrillation. Therefore, cardiac workload has been increased by i.v. administration of adrenoceptor agonists, such as isoproterenol (ISO), phenylephrine (PHE), and their combination, respectively. The doses applied (especially the combination of 2 micrograms/kg ISO and 16 micrograms/kg PHE, giving optimal changes) were sufficient to produce a marked elevation of both the ST segment in the intracavital electrogram and the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, without evoking cardiac arrhythmias. We compared the effect of this adrenergic "test" stimulus with that of VOP on hemodynamic and electrophysiological parameters of the heart, and furthermore, on the modification of responses to both "test" stimuli by oral administration of the coronary vasodilator: Isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-N), given in a dose of 40 mg/kg. Both VOP- and ISO+PHE-induced changes were significantly attenuated by IS-5-N, and a temporal coincidence of the maximal effects was found as well. We reached the following conclusion: The combined administration of ISO and PHE not evoking fatal arrhythmias in the dose range applied can replace the more risky VOP as a "test" workload in the estimation of antiischemic action.

Abstract
We have previously shown that experimentally induced blood pressure changes modify the release rates of catecholamines in the hypothalamus and the locus coeruleus. The aim of the present investigation was to identify the peripheral baroreceptors and the centripetal pathways responsible for the changes of catecholamine release in these brain areas. In anaesthetized cats, push-pull cannulae were bilaterally inserted into the locus coeruleus and the posterior hypothalamus. The two brain areas were superfused simultaneously with artificial cerebrospinal fluid. Baroreceptor activation by phenylephrine-induced blood pressure elevation decreased the release rate of noradrenaline in the locus coeruleus and the release rates of noradrenaline and dopamine in the posterior hypothalamus. Similar effects were elicited by electrical stimulation of the central trunk of the transected vagus and aortic depressor nerves (vagus-ADN). Transection of the nerves abolished the effect of phenylephrine on the release of noradrenaline in the locus coeruleus. Nerve transections attenuated slightly the decreased release of noradrenaline elicited by phenylephrine in the posterior hypothalamus, while the reduced dopamine release rate was not influenced. The selective stimulation of baroreceptors in the carotid sinus by an inflatable catheter did not influence the release of catecholamines in the locus coeruleus, while release rates of noradrenaline and dopamine in the posterior hypothalamus were decreased. The simultaneous superfusion of locus coeruleus and hypothalamus revealed that, in both areas, noradrenaline release is inhibited by baroreceptor activation. Noradrenergic neurons of the posterior hypothalamus are inhibited by baroreceptor impulses conducted by the carotid sinus nerve and vagus-ADN, while the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus seem to respond to impulses transmitted by vagus-ADN.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The modulatory effects of alpha-trinositol (D-myo-inositol-1.2.6- trisphosphate; PP 56) on the systemic arterial blood pressor responses induced by neuropeptide Y, preganglionic nerve stimulation, phenylephrine and vasopressin were studied in pithed rats. Intravenous administration (within 2 min.) of alpha-trinositol reduced the neuropeptide Y-induced increase in mean arterial pressure within a defined dose range without altering the heart rate. The influence of alpha-trinositol on the neuropeptide Y-induced pressor response in the presence of non-selective as well as H1- and H2-selective histamine antagonists (diphenhydramine, mepyramine and cimetidine respectively) were investigated. The maximal increase in mean arterial pressure induced by neuropeptide Y as well as the duration of the pressor response was enhanced after nonselective (diphenhydramine) or H1-selective (mepyramine) histamine blockade. The enhancement of the neuropeptide Y-induced pressor response by the H1 specific antagonist mepyramine was significantly more pronounced compared to the H2-selective agent. The exaggerated increase in mean arterial pressure in response to neuropeptide Y after histamine blockade was inhibited by alpha-trinositol to a similar extent as without such pretreatment. We conclude that neuropeptide Y interacts with histamine in the pithed rat and that this action may partially offset the pressor actions of the peptide. The neuropeptide Y-induced pressor responses may be inhibited by alpha-trinositol within a defined dose range indicating that this non-peptide agent may act as a functional inhibitor to neuropeptide Y in vascular tissue.

Abstract
The effect of (-)-deprenyl, a relatively selective MAO-B inhibitor, was examined for its ability to inhibit the contractions of rabbit isolated aorta evoked by various agonists and potassium. (-)-Deprenyl (10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M) antagonized the contractions evoked by noradrenaline (10(-8)-3 x 10(-4) M); pA2: 5.10. The antagonism was reversible. It was attenuated by cocaine (3 x 10(-5) M); pA2: 4.38, unchanged by corticosterone (4 x 10(-5) M); pA2 4.79 and enhanced by cocaine (3 x 10(-5) M) plus corticosterone (4 x 10(-5) M); pA2: 5.48. (+)-Deprenyl (10(-6)-10(-4) M) did not alter the contractions evoked by noradrenaline (3 x 10(-9)-10(-4) M). Clorgyline (10(-5) and 10(-4) M) antagonized the noradrenaline-evoked contractions. Pargyline (10(-4) and 3 x 10(-4) M) had no effect. (-)-Deprenyl (10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M) antagonized the contractions evoked by phenylephrine (10(-8)-10(-4) M); pA2: 5.10. Removal of the endothelium did not alter the antagonism; pA2: 5.35. (-)-Deprenyl (10(-5)-3 x 10(-4) M) antagonized the contractions evoked by either 5-hydroxytryptamine (3 x 10(-8)-3 x 10(-4) M); pA2: 4.61 or by histamine (10(-6)-3 x 10(-2) M); pA2: 4.84. (-)-Deprenyl (3 x 10(-4) M) caused a noncompetitive antagonism of the contractions evoked by potassium (1.5-5.5 x 10(-2) M). It is concluded that (-)-deprenyl is a weak inhibitor of postjunctional alpha 1-adrenoceptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT2) receptors, and histamine (H1) receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitrous oxide (N2O)-induced teratogenicity in rats is commonly believed to be due to decreased tetrahydrofolate, which results in decreased DNA synthesis. The role of decreased methionine has been largely ignored as have the sympathomimetic effects of N2O. METHODS A rat whole-embryo culture system was used to determine whether N2O-induced teratogenicity can be prevented with supplemental methionine or folinic acid and whether N2O-induced situs inversus is mediated by alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation. Embryos were explanted on day 9 of gestation, and those at stage 10b (late primitive streak stage) were cultured with or without N2O and the various chemicals, methionine (25 micrograms.ml-1), folinic acid (5 micrograms.ml-1), phenylephrine (range 0.5-50 microM) and prazosin (10 microM). Embryos in the N2O groups were exposed to a concentration of 75% for the first 24 h of culture. After 50 h of culture, embryos were examined for abnormalities including situs inversus. RESULTS Treatment with N2O alone resulted in increased incidences of malformations and growth retardation. Methionine, but not folinic acid or prazosin, almost completely prevented N2O-induced malformations and growth retardation. N2O itself did not cause situs inversus but increased the incidence of phenylephrine-induced situs inversus. This additive effect was blocked by prazosin. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that decreased methionine rather than decreased tetrahydrofolate plays the major role in N2O-induced teratogenicity in rats. They also indicate that N2O stimulates the alpha 1-adrenergic pathway in the embryo and thereby increases the incidence of phenylephrine-induced situs inversus.

Abstract
In previous studies, we have demonstrated that stimulation of alpha 1 but not alpha 2 or beta adrenergic receptors in rat embryos grown in culture interferes with normal development of the left/right body axis leading to situs inversus. In the present study, we aimed to determine the alpha 1 adrenergic receptor subtype and signal transduction pathway involved in this phenomenon. Rat embryos at Stage 11a by a modified Theiler's staging system were cultured for 50 hr in medium containing various compounds which are known to activate or inhibit different sites of the signal transduction pathways associated with alpha 1 adrenergic receptors. They were then examined to determine the sidedness of asymmetric body structures. WB4101, a selective antagonist of alpha 1A adrenergic receptor subtype, but not chlorethylclonidine, a selective antagonist of alpha 1B adrenergic receptor subtype, inhibited phenylephrine (an alpha 1 adrenergic agonist)-induced situs inversus. Neither the protein kinase C (PKC) activators phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and SC-9 nor the PKC inhibitor calphostin C caused situs inversus. Furthermore, calphostin C did not block phenylephrine-induced situs inversus. A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore, induced situs inversus; nifedipine, a L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, partially blocked phenylephrine-induced situs inversus. The calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine, W-7, and W-13 blocked phenylephrine-induced situs inversus, although they did not cause situs inversus by themselves. KN-62, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) inhibitor, dose-dependently blocked phenylephrine-induced situs inversus. However, higher concentrations of this compound produced no block in the presence of phenylephrine and in its absence produced a 50% incidence of situs inversus. These results indicate that alpha 1 adrenergic stimulation-induced situs inversus is mediated by the alpha 1A adrenergic receptor subtype and that activation of CaM kinase II but not PKC may be involved.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of catecholamines on skin necrosis independent of their vasoactive effects. Rat abdominal or human breast skin was excised, pinned flat, and incubated at 37 degrees C for 6 hours in a buffered salt solution containing catecholamine. At 0.1 and 6 hours the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released from the skin and appearing in the buffer was determined spectrophotometrically. All groups showed similar LDH levels at 0.1 hour. Rat skin treated with greater than or equal to 10(-7) M epinephrine (33 times less than the 1:200,000 used clinically) or greater than or equal to 10(-5) M norepinephrine showed a significant increase in the LDH released at 6 hours versus controls (18.75 +/- 1.25 versus 13.75 +/- 1.25 and 29.25 +/- 2.96 versus 22.00 +/- 1.96 IV, respectively). Total tissue LDH levels were not significantly different at 0.1 or 6 hours. The toxic effect of epinephrine was eliminated by the addition of propranolol or selective beta 2 blockade, but not by alpha or beta 1 blockade. Therefore, this effect appears to be mediated largely by beta 2 receptors. Similar toxic effects were seen in human breast skin treated with 1:200,000 epinephrine and were blocked with propranolol. Phenylephrine at 1:20,000 demonstrated toxicity, but angiotensin II and vasopressin did not. These studies indicate that addition of catecholamine to ischemic rat or human skin accelerates skin death within 6 hours, but that the toxicity can be reversed with beta blockade.

Abstract
Phenylephrine HCl was incorporated into feed given to male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice in studies of 14 days, 12 weeks, and 2 years duration. In 12-week studies, body weight gains decreased with dose, and deaths of male rats and mice occurred at concentrations of 5,000 ppm and above; however, no organ-specific toxicity was evident. During 2-year studies, body weights of rats receiving diets at 620 and 1,250 ppm and mice at 1,250 and 2,500 ppm ranged up to 16% less than control. Survival of high dose male rats was substantially greater than controls. Survivals of other dose groups of rats and mice were similar to controls. Chronic focal inflammation of the liver, and inflammation of the prostate were increased in dosed rats. No increases in neoplasms were observed in rats or mice consuming diets containing phenylephrine HCl for 2 years. The incidences of mononuclear cell leukemia and pheochromocytomas of the adrenal gland were decreased in dosed male rats. Approximate time weighted average doses ranged up to 54 mg/kg/day for rats and 280 mg/kg/day for mice during the 2-year studies.

Abstract
Induced systemic arterial hypotension by intravenous nitroprusside administration and by acute arterial occlusion in sheep have been found to reduce lymphocyte traffic as mirrored in the output of lymphocytes into the efferent lymph of peripheral lymph nodes. In the present series of experiments in sheep with chronically cannulated efferent lymphatics of peripheral lymph nodes, induced and monitored systemic arterial hypertension with intravenous pump infusions of phenylephrine or dopamine both produced sharp increases in the output of lymphocytes into efferent lymph in all of 27 studies. The increases in lymphocyte output with dopamine were more sustained and less associated with evidence of lymphoid tissue damage than with phenylephrine. Phenylephrine infusions were attended by a high incidence of gross bleeding into the efferent lymph, of increased coagulability of efferent lymph in the absence of gross bleeding and of prolonged depression of lymphocyte outputs after the cessation of intravenous infusion.

Abstract
We have demonstrated previously that phenylephrine, a selective postsynaptic alpha-1-adrenergic agonist, significantly potentiates the incidence of acetazolamide-induced right forelimb ectrodactyly in a dose-response manner. As reported herein, phenylephrine also decreases maternal uterine blood flow in a dose-response manner as measured by radioactive microsphere methodology. At the potentiative dose of 12.5 mg/kg phenylephrine decreases uterine blood flow by 86.8% when compared to control. In turn, pretreatment with prazosin, a selective postsynaptic alpha-1-adrenergic antagonist, prevents this large decrease in uterine blood flow and abolishes the potentiation of acetazolamide teratogenesis by phenylephrine. Although the effects of acetazolamide or acetazolamide + phenylephrine on uterine blood flow were not measured the data suggest a correlation between decreased uterine blood flow and potentiation of acetazolamide teratogenesis.

Abstract
The ocular and cardiovascular effects as well as aqueous humor and plasma concentrations of 10% phenylephrine HCl and 1% phenylephrine oxazolidine (prodrug) were compared in cynomolgus monkeys. A volume of 25 microliters of either drug was administered to one eye followed by blood pressure, pulse, and pupillary measurements at 10 min intervals up to 60 minutes. Careful slit lamp examinations of the anterior segment, indirect ophthalmoscopy of the vitreous and retina, and ERGs were performed at 60 minutes. Four plasma determinations of phenylephrine following administration of either drug were made between 5 and 60 minutes. Measurement of phenylephrine in aqueous humor was also determined at 60 minutes following all other measurements. The maximal pupillary dilation after administration of 1% prodrug (mean + s.d. = 4.4 + 0.5 mm, n = 12) was slightly greater than after administration of phenylephrine 10% (mean + s.d. = 3.9 + 0.8 mm, n = 12). The differences in pupillary diameter from 20 through 40 minutes were statistically greater for the prodrug. The greater pupillary diameter at the earlier times resulted in an onset of pupillary dilation approximately 15 minutes earlier for the 1% prodrug. There was no ocular toxicity from either drug. Neither drug resulted in any ERG changes compared to baseline. Significantly higher aqueous humor levels along with lower plasma levels were detected and found to be statistically different following administration of the 1% prodrug when compared to 10% phenylephrine.

Abstract
Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, induced right forelimb ectrodactyly in rat fetuses when the mothers were treated on late day 10 and early day 11 of gestation. Coadministration of the selective alpha-1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine significantly increased the incidence of acetazolamide-induced right forelimb ectrodactyly while failing to induce the lesion when administered alone. Pretreatment with the alpha-adrenergic antagonists phenoxybenzamine and prazosin prevented the phenylephrine-induced increase in right forelimb ectrodactyly. In addition, treatment with either phenoxybenzamine or prazosin in the absence of stimulation with phenylephrine significantly decreased the incidence of acetazolamide-induced ectrodactyly. The results suggest an adrenergic component in acetazolamide teratogenesis. Alterations in uterine blood flow are discussed as a plausible mechanism for the modification of the incidence of ectrodactyly by these adrenergic agents.

Abstract
The objectives of this report are to document external malformations observed in chick embryos following concomitant administration of methylxanthines (caffeine, theophylline) and beta-adrenomimetic agents (isoproterenol, epinephrine) and to suggest reasonable explanations for the anomalies. Administration of caffeine or theophylline alone (2.5-5.0 mg/egg) retarded growth in a dose-dependent fashion. Doses of 5.0 mg caffeine and theophylline produced beak malformations in 4.9% and 57.1% of embryos, respectively. Limb malformations, seen in low frequency (3.6% in 56 embryos) after administration of 1 microgram isoproterenol, were not seen in 224 methylxanthine-treated embryos. Structural defects following coadministration of methylxanthines and beta-adrenomimetics were frequently observed in limbs (primarily lower limbs with predilection for left-sided oligodactyly) and beak. Other findings included limb hematomas, hygromas in the nuchal region, and prominent generalized edema. The most dramatic effects observed in this study were those induced by concomitant administration of 2.5 mg caffeine and 1 microgram isoproterenol. This combination produced at least one of the embryopathies listed above in 87.9% of treated embryos and frequently induced beak (24.2%) and lower limb defects (75.8%) in addition to nuchal hygromas (9.1%). Similar severe malformations were observed following administration of 3.8 mg theophylline with 1 microgram epinephrine. Embryos that died within 12-48 hours following drug insult demonstrated marked cardiac dilation, apparently due to congestive heart failure. The results of this study suggest that methylxanthines and beta-adrenomimetic agents are synergistic in their action in the developing chick. Doses of alpha-adrenomimetic agents that were used in this study were not synergistic with methylxanthines. Increased intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is offered as an explanation for digital anomalies due to inhibition of proximodistal development of limbs. Increased intracellular cyclic AMP may also explain limb hypoplasia and loss of intermediate limb structures as a result of inhibited mitosis and/or necrosis of embryonic tissue.

Abstract
We examined the effects of topically applied pivalylphenylephrine (PPE) and pivalic acid (PA) on the corneal endothelium of rabbits and the direct effects of PPE and PA on monolayer cultures of bovine corneal endothelium. The PPE-treated corneas without epithelium significantly increased in thickness, whereas no change in thickness was observed in corneas with epithelium intact. The PA did not alter the thickness of corneas with or without epithelium. Although 0.001% PE had no noticeable effect in two hours, 0.01% PPE caused breakdown of intercellular junctions in cultured cells in five minutes. Higher concentrations of PPE caused the cells to detach from the culture dishes within 30 minutes of treatment. Only 1% PA caused cell elongation and loss of intercellular contact after 60 to 90 minutes of exposure; lower concentrations did not effect cultured cells.

Abstract
The radioprotective effect (RPE) of some arylalkylamines (AAAs) was studied in experiments on mice. Mesaton and its close analogues were injected subcutaneously 15 minutes prior to irradiation at a dose of 800 rad. The protective effect is exerted by AAAs in low doses (25--50 mumole/kg), the compounds show stable and high RPE (80--80% survival, dose reduction factor being 1.3--1.4) and low toxicity (LD50 = 4--8 mumole/kg). AAAs studied are not less effective than aminothiols. Their pharmacological spectrum--K = LD50/ED50 (200--500) is superior to that of known aminothiols and indolylalkylamines.
