Modification of the cardiovascular effects of l-dopa by decarboxylase inhibitors
AUTOR(ES)
Watanabe, August M.
RESUMO
Intravenously infused L-dopa (0.3 mg/kg per min) produced hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias in halothane anesthetized dogs. Biochemical studies showed that the heart, kidney, and brain of these animals accumulated significant amounts of catecholamines formed from the administered precursor.
