The aim of this study was to examine the modulating role of presynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors on transmitter release from vascular sympathetic neurones. This was done by examining the influence of removal of inactivation pathways on the effect of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists on the release of transmitter from noradrenergic neurones. The rabbit main pulmonary artery preloaded with 3H-noradrenaline (3H-NA) was used.
