The results obrained with granulocyres were similar to rhose obtained with monocyres although the elimination of bacteria by monocytes was less than that by granulocytes.

Core temperature, blood gases, arterial plasma levels of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) also were examined. Cardiac output was rneasured using a thermodilution technique and regional blood ftows using directional pulsed Doppler velocimetry. Dermorphin, at doses of 0.1-100 nmol/kg, increased blood pressure and hindquarter blood flow, renal and mesenteric resistance, and core temperature. Higher doses (1-5 \(\mu\)mol/kg) caused respiratory depression, acidosis, and shock despite profaund sympatho-adrenomedullary stimulation. Circulating Ieveis of catecholamines were significantly increased at the dermorphin doses of 0.1-1 00 nmol/kg. At the 100 nmol/kg dose, plasma levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, the dopamine metabellte dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and the catecholamine precursor 3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine were increased by 2-15-fold. The data indicate that mu opioid receptor Stimulation exerts potent effects on cardiorespiratory functions, activates the sympathoadrenomedullary system and produces a pattem of blood flow changes consistent with the stress-induced •detense· response (skeletal muscle vasodilation and splanchnic vasoconstriction).

To study the potential mechanisms involved in this phenomenon, rats were chronically implanted with catheters in the femoral vessels and morphine (1.5 or 5 mg/kg) was administered 30 min or 24 hr after bleeding (8.5 mll300 g over 5 min) while arterial blood pressure and heart rate were continuously monitored. Furthermore, the effect of morphine (5 mg/kg) on cardiac output (CO) response to hemorrhage was studied in rats chronically equipped with a mini thermistor for CO monitoring by a thermodilution technique. In addition, plasma catecholamines (HPLC), plasma renin activity (PRA, RIA), vasopressin (RIA), pH, and blood gases were also determined. Morphine administration 30 min after hemorrhage produced a pressor response and tachycardia which were in marked contrast to its depressor effect in intact rats. Morphine elevated PRA and epinephrine but not vasopressin, while blood pH and gases showed no consistent change as compared to salinetreated hemorrhaged rats. Morphine given after the bleeding resulted in enhanced cardiac depression in response to a second bleed of 2 m1l300 g. Our data suggest that activation of pressor mechanisms by morphine during hypovolemic hypotension might enhance vasoconstriction in essential organs, depress cardiac function, and further reduce effective tissue perfusion.}, subject = {Medizin}, language = {en} }
