Background-The sympathetic nervous system and proinflammatory cytokines are believed to play key roles in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure. To evaluate a possible relationship between these neurohormonal systems, we studied the effects of chronic beta-adrenergic stimulation on the myocardial and systemic elaboration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (LL)-1 beta, and IL-6.Methods and Results-Male rats received either L-isoproterenol (2.4 mg . kg(-1) . d(-1), n=8) or saline (n=7) via miniosmotic pumps for 7 days. Myocardial cytokine expression was analyzed by both Northern and Western blotting and localized in the tissue using immunohistochemistry. ELISA was performed to measure circulating levels of cytokines. In myocardium from control animals, neither TNF-alpha nor IL-1 beta were detected, whereas IL-6 was present at very low levels. Isoproterenol led to a significant (P
