HR-response to 4-AP after removal of components of the adrenergic system. The rats were pre-treated to eliminate adrenal (AdrX) or neuronal (reserpine) catecholamines, peripheral β1 + 2AR (peripherally restricted antagonist nadolol), or β3AR-activity (β3AR antagonist SR59230A). Reserpine and nadolol were also combined with mAChR antagonist (atropine), as indicated by symbol legends. Column graphs to the right shows HRnadir during the initial response (1–2 min) and ΔHR at 25 min. Significant responses (* within column) and group differences (brackets) were located as indicated. Baseline HR was slightly reduced after reserpine and nadolol in WKY and clearly after nadolol in SHR (Table 2). * – P ≤ 0.025.
