The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that alterations in nerve impulse traffic can influence the activity of substances which act prejunctionally to alter adrenergic neurotransmission. Measurements of the rapid phasic contraction of the isolated rat or guinea-pig vas deferens to short periods of electrical field stimulation were carried out in tissues obtained from saline- or chorisondamine-treated (8 mg/kg twice daily for 5 days) rats and guinea pigs. The alpha-2… Expand
