The ability of cardiac tissues to take up norepinephrine from an external medium is well known. Two mechanisms, called Uptake and Uptake respectively by Iversen have been differentiated. Uptake is a high affinity system associated with adrenergic neuronal elements. Uptake is a low affinity system, with a higher maximum rate than that of Uptake. Uptake has been associated with extraneuronal tissues such as cardiac muscle, fibroblasts or vascular smooth muscle. At low perfusion concentrations of norepinephrine most of the amine taken up by Uptake is metabolized. In order to study the localization of sites of norepinephrine storage following its uptake in the active bat heart, tritiated norepinephrine (2.5 mCi; 0.064 mg) was given intravenously to 2 bats. Monoamine oxidase had been inhibited with pheniprazine (10 mg/kg) one hour previously to decrease metabolism of norepinephrine.

SummaryThe cold promoted activation of factor VII occurs in parallel with an activation of a plasma arginine esterase, and, on inhibition of the cold activation of factor VII, the esterase activation also decreased. The inhibitor pattern supported our theory that the arginine esterase that is activated in the cold activation of factor VII is plasma kallikrein.The cold activation of factor VII was completely inhibited with soya bean trypsin inhibitor in doses that did not interfere with the contact activation. On the other hand, inhibition of the contact activation with hexadimethrine bromide did not interfere with the cold activation of factor VII except when this was kaolin induced. Contact and cold activation therefore appear to represent two different pathways for the activation of factor VII. The cold activation reaction is probably mediated by the activation of plasma prekallikrein, and inhibition of the plasma kallikrein activity correlates with the inhibition of the cold promoted activation of factor VII.

Abstract 1. The substantial effect of inhibitors and initiators of chain radical processes on the change in the properties of rubbers in milling, as well as on the resistance of vulcanizates to fatigue, has been shown. This indicates a mechanochemical mechanism for processing of polymers and in the fatigue of elastomers. The act of mechanical scission of chemical bonds, with the formation of free radicals which initiate the secondary chain processes, rests on these processes. 2. The possibility has been shown of regulating the properties of polymers during processing, and also of increasing the dynamic fatigue resistance of vulcanizates by incorporating small quantities of additives active in regard to free radicals.
