Peripheral effects of noradrenaline in man were first investigated by Barcroft & Konzett (1949); the amine was shown to be a direct constrictor of blood vessels in skin and skeletal muscle, causing a reduction of blood flow in the forearm and the calf after both intravenous and intra-arterial infusions. These studies in man accorded well with the concept, then gaining acceptance and based on studies in animals, that noradrenaline was the transmitter at sympathetic vasoconstrictor nerve-endings (von Euler, 1956). The effect of noradrenaline on the human peripheral circulation has been further discussed by Barcroft & Swan (1953), and a general comparison of the vascular actions of noradrenaline, adrenaline, isopropylnoradrenaline and dopamine is summarized in fig. 1.From time to time, attempts have been made to involve noradrenaline in the production or maintenance of hypertension in man, but an association has been demonstrated only in cases of phaeochromocytoma where the excretion of noradrenaline may be markedly increased (Pickering, 1955). The excretion of noradrenaline was not, however, raised in 500 patients with essential hypertension (von Euler, Hellner & Purkhold, 1954).
