Abstract

Experiments employing ultrasound technique showed that nonselective blockade of central muscarinic cholinoceptors with amizyl significantly increases the number and lifespan of rats highly resistant to acute massive blood loss. This pretreatment increased individual resistance of the circulatory system to posthemorrhagic hypoxia (blood pressure and portal blood flow rate). Preliminary blockade of central nicotinic cholinoceptors and peripheral muscarinic cholinoceptors with cyclodol and methacin, respectively, had no effect on the percentage of rats highly and low resistant to acute blood loss. Preliminary blockade of peripheral muscarinic cholinoceptors with methacin prevented the decrease in the cardiac output in low resistant animals during the posthemorrhagic period.
