Previous studies reported that norepinephrine (NE) induces contraction of the calf isolated coronary arteries after beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol (PR), and that the effect disappeared after phentolamine. An higher Ca++ concentration increased the response of preparation to NE, whereas the reduction of the concentration reduced the response. In isolated coronary arteries the baseline tone and contractile response to NE after PR were studied as influenced by DA and nicardipine (NI). NI always induced vessel relaxation and DA induced a contraction followed by relaxation. The NE contraction was not abolished in calcium-free medium but in presence of DA and was reduced by NI in the medium containing Ca++. We conclude that NE induces contractions by facilitating the influx of the extracellular Ca++ and by promoting the liberation of intracellular bound Ca++.
