We studied adrenoreceptor density and affinity in the myoeardial and pooled arterial smooth muscle membranes in a baboon model (Grollman 2-kidney, 2-figure-of-8) of hypertension, using tritiated prazosin (α1-antagonist). yohimbine (α2-antagonist) and dihydroalprenolol β-antagonist) as ligands. By the end of 24 weeks, mean arterial blood pressure had increased from 105 ± 3 to 155 ± 8 mm Hg. and heart rate increased from 102 ± 6 to 118 ± 2/min. In the myocardium, there was a significant decrease in α2- and β-receptor density, and significant decreases in α2-, α2- and β-receptor KD values. In membranes from arteries. Bmax for α1- and α2-receptors more than doubled, with significantly increased Kd values for both receptor subtypes. The decrease in myocardial β-receptor density may represent a down-regulatory response to the increased sympathetic activity in this type of hypertension, and the decreased Bmax for myocardial α2-receptors may cause a decreased feedback inhibition of norepinephrine release from sympathetic nerve terminals, contributing to the increased heart rate. The increase in both α-receptor subtypes in arteries may be part of the pathogenesis of the hypertension. However we were unable to show increased chronotropic responses to infused isoproterenol, or increased blood pressure responses to phenylephrine.
