摘要
1. Forced swim (three daily sessions) resulted in an increased plasma corticosterone level and supersensitivity of the isolated rat pacemaker to the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline. 2. Bilateral adrenalectomy, performed 2 days before forced swim, abolished the development of pacemaker supersensitivity to isoprenaline. 3. Administration to rats of the antiglucorticoid compound RU-38486 prevented the development of pacemaker supersensitivity to isoprenaline. Pretreatment of rats not submitted to forced swim with the synthetic glucocorticoid RU-28362 causes pacemaker supersensitivity to isoprenaline. 4. Pretreatment of rats with diazepam or imipramine which block the forced swim-induced increase in the plasma level of corticosterone prevented the development of pacemaker supersensitivity to isoprenaline. 5. It is concluded that corticosterone plays a critical role in the modulation of the sensitivity to catecholamines of the pacemaker beta-adrenoceptors during adaptation to repeated stress.
