Growth Inhibition of Sympathetic Cells by Some Adrenergic Blocking Agents

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Treatment of newborn mice and rats with the adrenergic blocking agents, guanethidine and bretylium tosylate, results in massive destruction of immature sympathetic nerve cells. A growth inhibition of the same cells is caused by reserpine. Similarities and differences between the effects elicited by these three ganglion blocking agents and a dopamine analog, 6-hydroxydopamine, are discussed.
