Bromoacetylalprenololmenthane (BAAM), an alkylating irreversible beta adrenoceptor antagonist, was used to study in vivo beta adrenoceptor synthesis in adult rat left ventricle under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In normoxic conditions cardiac beta adrenoceptor density decreased by 50% 15 h after treatment and recovered to control values after about 250 h. A similar decrease in receptor density and pattern of recovery was found in environmental hypoxia. Neither hypoxia nor treatment with BAAM had a significant effect on the dissociation constant of the radioligand. These results show that cardiac beta adrenoceptor synthesis occurs rather slowly and suggest that alteration of the rate of receptor synthesis in hypoxic states is not a major determinant of reported changes in density.
