[Influence of sauna baths on urinary excretion of catecholamines].

The urinary excretion of noradrenaline, adrenaline and creatinine has been studied in 22 normal young men during a sauna bath (20 minutes). The radio noradrenalinuria/creatinine is specifically increased, indicating a stimulation of the orthosympathetic system (19.6 ng.mg-1 +/- 7.9 in basal state; 30.5 +/- 15.7 in sauna bath).

Catecholamines and exercise-induced glucagon and fatty acid mobilization in the rat.

Physical exercise in rats provokes an increase in plasma glucagon and free fatty acid concentrations. The persistence of exercise-induced glucagon stimulation in adrenodemedullated animals and conversely, its inhibition by immunosympathectomy, (-)-ropranolol, and pindolol substantiate the conclusion that stimulation of the alpha2 cells in exercise involves sympathetic stimulation of the beta-adrenergic receptors. The reduction of free fatty acid mobilization by immunosympathectomy and (-)-propranolol and its persistence after adrenodemedullation suggest that it is similarly mediated, at least in part, by adipose cell beta-sympathetic receptors.

Telemetric control of heart adaptation during automatic and free-fall parachute jumps.

Telmetered heart rate recordings have been ovtaine from 17 parachutists (6 during automatic jumps) 9 Catecholamine (adrenaline and noradrenaline) concentrations have been measured in urine and plasma of six of these subjects. No difference appears between heart rates recorded in the two jumps at egress and at parachute deployment. On the other hand, higher heart rate values are recorded during automatic jumps during descent and at ground impace. The urine catecholamine analysis after jump shows a statistically significant increase in adrenaline and noradrenaline concentration. It is suggested that simulation of the orthosympathetic system is due to two facts; muscular work performed during jumping and the emotional stress which it involves. The importance of these two causes varies with the jump circumstances.

[Influence of muscular exercise on blood catecholamine levels in rats].

Lactacidemia, catecholaminemia and blood pressure have been measured in normal rats submitted to a swimming exercise. They are overloaded (6% body weight). Lactacidemia is increased after 15 minutes swimming. Adrenalinemia and noradrenalinemia are also statisticaly increased. Blood pressure falls during the exercice period. Hypotension is prevented by beta adrenergic blockade.
