  • *beta 2>beta1»alpha
28
Q

Humans: beta-3 agonists are used for (ex. mirabegron)

A
  • Overactive bladder treatment
  • Target detrusor muscle=relaxes it=less likely to urinate
  • *selection for beta-3 may not actually be that good (still needs improvement!)
29
Q

Glaucoma (cause and effects of muscarinic and beta-adrenergic stimulation)

A
  • High intraocular pressure
    o Too much aqueous humor production
    o Impair aqueous humour outflow
  • Muscarinic receptor stimulation increases aqueous humour outflow
  • Beta-adrenergic stimulation increases aqueous humour production

A
  • Beta antagonists
  • Beta1=beta2
    o non-selective
  • *preferred beta blocker to use ophthalmic (to control aqueous humour production)
  • Can be a problem in asthmatics (would want to use a beta1 selective antagonist to reduce risk of triggering an asthma attack)
40
Q

Give NE: effects on CV system

A
  • *alpha1, alpha2, beta 1
  • HR: increase stretch increases firing of baroreceptors=cause decrease in S firing, and increase in vagal firing=decrease HR (*due to large increase in TPR)
    o *still increase in cardiac output (increased pulse pressure!)
  • BP: increase in TPR, increases diastolic P
  • TPR: pure alpha2 response=vasoconstriction=LARGE increase in TPR
  • CRASHING ANIMAL: if give NE=increased TPR could slow the heart down
    o Maybe if really high dose of NE=override the baroreceptors and get increased HR
41
Q

How can you have increased CO when HR is lower?

A
  • Increased SV: due to strong beta1 stimulation in heart muscle cells
    o increased contractility
42
Q

Give E: effects on CV system

A
  • Alpha1, alpha2, beta1, beta2
  • CRASHING ANIMAL: E preferred
  • HR: less stretch of baroreceptor=stimulate S and inhibit PS=NET effect is to increase HR (NOT fighting the direct stimulation of E on the heart=further support stimulator effect)
    o HR and SV increased=CO increased!
  • BP: diastolic P decreased due to decreased TPR
  • TPR: beta2=vasodilate=decrease slightly
43
Q

Give Isoproterenol: effects on CV system

A
  • Beta1=beta 2, little to no alpha stimulation
  • HR: increased (CO increased!)
  • BP: more decreased diastolic pressure
  • TPR: large decreased due to beta2=vasodilation (add to stimulator effects on the pacemakers, baroreceptor not firing as much)
44
Q

Give Dopamine (higher dose): effects on CV system

A
  • D1>beta1>beta2>alpha
  • Renal vascular dilation
  • HR: increased (decreased stretch and the beta1 effects)
  • BP: slight decrease in diastolic and increase in systolic
  • TPR: slight decrease vasodilation (not as high receptor affinity for beta2)
    o Dilation in renal vasculature
    o Minor dilation in peripheral skeletal muscle vascular beds
  • *VERY DESIRABLE IN AN EMERGENCY
