Abstract

1. In canine cutaneous veins, local moderate warming (37°-41°C) augments the responsiveness to postjunctional α₁-adrenergic stimulation but depresses that to postjunctional α₂-adrenergic activation. Moderate cooling (37° C-24°C) has the opposite effect. 2. The effects of warming and cooling on α₁-adrenergic responses are buffered by a large receptor reserve, allowing for the predominance of alterations in α₂-adrenergic responsiveness.
