Fig. 3. In vitro desensitization of the
-adrenoceptor in cells of
the Bothrops jararaca venom gland. Quiescent cells were incubated for
5 min with 104 mol l1 noradrenaline and
kept at 30°C for 24 h(triangles, N=6) before the construction of
the doseresponse curve to phenylephrine. Control quiescent cells
(squares, N=11). Note that incubation with noradrenaline induced
receptor downregulation. Values are means ± S.E.M.
