in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of epinephrine ( e ) -induced lung edema ( le ) as well as the mechanism of protection afforded by alpha-adrenoceptor blockade in urethane-anesthetized and bivagotomized rats , we investigated the influence of phentolamine ( phe ) and prazosin ( praz ) on arterial hypertension and le provoked by continuous intravenous infusion of e and on blood pressure changes in left ( lhv ) and right ( rhv ) heart ventricles caused by a bolus injection of e at a le-producing dose ( 1800 nmol/kg ) .
