SUMMARY In the isolated perfused hindlimb preparation of the dog, pressor responses to norepinephrine (NE) are mediated by postsynaptic a,- and aradrenergic receptors. Results obtained using preferential ar and rtradrenergic receptor antagonists suggest that the c$-subtype is predominantly innervated while both a,- and a$adrenergic receptor subtypes in vascular smooth muscle are accessible to circulating agonists and antagonists. Preliminary studies in the isolated perfused cat spleen support these in rivo findings in the dog. In contrast to vascular smooth muscle, the cat nictitating membrane appears to contain only a,-adrenergic receptors postsynaptically. (Hypertension 3 (supp I): 1-112-1-118, 1981)
