The increase in vascular resistance produced by adrenaline is greatly reduced immediately after the recovery of the blood flow from a reduction due to a brief sympathetic stimulation. This partial inhibition of adrenaline's action wears off in 6–12 min. Further, the effect of intravenous adrenaline follows a much shorter time course if during it the sympathetic is stimulated for a period of 2‐4 sec. The mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed. © 1969 The Physiological Society ER -
