“In normoxic tissues, phenoxybenzamine (20 microM) decreased the maximum contractile response (EMAX) to oxytocin (155+/-17 vs. 66+/-19 g s/cm2) and oxytocin binding sites (BMAX: 253+/-35 vs. 114.9+/-21.3 fmol/mg protein).”
“In intact rats, alpha adrenergic receptor blocking agents, phenoxybenzamine (PBZ) and phentolamine potentiated the pressor response to oxytocin and vasopressin (VP).”
“In the presence of PBZ or phentolamine blockade, the dose-response curves of oxytocin and VP were shifted to the left, resulting in an apparent doubling of the pressor potency of the neurohypophysial peptides.”

“5 Phenoxybenzamine , in a dose which almost blocked the actions of the catecholamines, increased the responses of the vascular and capsular smooth muscle to oxytocin , vasopressin and angiotensin.”
