Heterogeneity of vascular alpha 1-adrenoceptor subtypes has been revealed by pharmacological and molecular biology studies (i.e., alpha 1A-, alpha 1B-, and alpha 1D-adrenoceptors). The alpha 1D-adrenoceptor subtype is predominantly involved in the contraction of a variety of vessels and its role in the control of blood pressure has been suggested, a phenomenon probably related to aging. Recent advances in the use of young pre-hypertensive rats and adult spontaneously hypertensive rats with one kidney and Grollman-type renal hypertension suggest vascular alpha 1D-adrenoceptor involvement in the increased blood pressure. The possible role of alpha 1D-adrenoceptors in the genesis/maintenance of hypertension is discussed in this review.
