The effect of ph on contractility of porcine renal and mesenteric arteries in vitro

Rationale: Critically ill patients often receive the α-adrenoceptor agonist noradrenaline (NA) and clonidine (CLON) to elevate blood pressure and induce sedation, respectively. Since both drugs can influence renal blood flow, we examined the effect of acidosis on the vasoactive properties of these agents in renal and mesenteric blood vessels in vitro .
