Popis: We have studied the role of alpha 1A- and alpha 1B-adrenoceptors in noradrenaline- and methoxamine-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in rat renal cortical slices. [3H]Prazosin binding studies with and without inactivation of alpha 1B-adrenoceptors by chloroethylclonidine treatment suggested that noradrenaline lacks relevant selectivity for alpha 1-adrenoceptor subtypes. Both agonists stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation with similar maximal effects. The alpha 1A-selective antagonists 5-methyl-urapidil and (+)-niguldipine inhibited inositol phosphate formation by both agonists with shallow biphasic curves but the high affinity component was only 15%-31% and 38%-41%, respectively. The irreversible alpha 1B-selective antagonist chloroethylclonidine inhibited inositol phosphate generation by both agonists by 54%-57%. In contrast to our previous data in rat cerebral cortical slices, we conclude that in rat renal cortex both alpha 1A- and alpha 1B-adrenoceptors are involved in noradrenaline- and methoxamine-stimulated inositol phosphate generation
