摘要

1. m-Octopamine given i.v. or i.p. was a potent sialogogue for rat salivary glands. 2. Salivation in response to i.v. m-octopamine was completely abolished by prazosin and phenoxybenzamine. 3. The alpha-type of proteins were secreted in response to all doses of i.v. and i.p. m-octopamine and these were converted into the beta-type with prazosin, but not with yohimbine. 4. m-Octopamine stimulated both alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors and was a much more selective alpha 1-agonist than was the p-isomer.
