“The difference in cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance responses to cocaine in these two subsets of the population can be prevented by L-type calcium channel, muscarinic, or alpha-adrenergic blockade.”
“The inhibition of locus ceruleus neurons by cocaine was significantly attenuated by pretreatment either with the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist , yohimbine, or with reserpine.”
“ Cocaine also potentiated the vasoconstriction induced by nerve stimulation (1-3 Hz) or intraarterial noradrenaline (0.2-2 nmoles) as well as the vasodilatation induced by sympathetic nerve stimulation (1-3 Hz) after alpha-receptor blockade.”
