pubmed:abstractText |
Venom from the funnel-web spider Hololena curta was added to the Krebs-Henseleit solution bathing isolated ring preparations of rat thoracic aorta, suspended in water-jacketed organ baths, for the purpose of tension recordings. Hololena curta venom at dilutions of 1:100,000 to 1:1000 caused a marked vasoconstriction, which was completely inhibited by the alpha 1 adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (1 microm). The vasoconstriction appears to be due to the direct effects on alpha 1 adrenoceptors of a venom constituent, which we have identified using HPLC/ECD as the catecholamine, noradrenaline.
