| Research Abstract |
The present study was designed to examine the effects of circulating catecholamines released by sympathoadrenal system on the haemodynamics of the masseter muscle. The results of the present study indicate that circulating adrenaline elicits acute vasodilatation through aβ-adrenergic mechanism in the rat masseter muscle. Vascularβ_2-adrenergic receptors in the masseter muscle may be activated preferentially by adrenaline released from the adrenal medulla, suggesting that the sympathoadrenal system is involved in the marked jaw muscle blood flow increase during sympathoexcitation.
