Bordetella pertussis-induced Alteration of the Normal Hyperglycemic Response of Mice to 3′,5′-Adenosine Phosphate

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Blockade of the adrenergic receptors or the injection of Bordetella pertussis vaccine prevented the normal hyperglycemic response of CFW mice to exogenous cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine phosphate (3′,5′-AMP). The cyclic nucleotide was also ineffective in offsetting the histamine hypersensitivity of the β-adrenergically blocked and the pertussis-sensitized groups. These observations suggest that the autonomic malfunction occurs at a point(s) subsequent to release of 3′,5′-AMP. Neither the hyperglycemic effect of epinephrine or 3′,5′-AMP, or both, nor the histamine sensitivity of pertussis-pretreated animals was influenced by the subcutaneous administration of theophylline.
