Abstract
An inverse relationship between temperature and the negative inotropic response of tracheal smooth muscle segments to isoproterenol was demonstrated at resting tension and following precontraction with histamine. In addition, the β-blocking effect of propranolol was more pronounced at higher temperatures. These findings suggest that in asthmatic patients fever might be one of the factors which contribute to diminished responsiveness of sympathomimetic bronchodilators.
