Abstract in Portuguese
Neste estudo investigou-se: 1) os subtipos de receptores b-adrenérgicos (b-AR) envolvidos nas alterações de reatividade vascular induzida pela hiperativação dos receptores b-AR com do uso de camundongos nocaute para os receptores b1- ou b2-AR e selvagens tratados por 7 dias com isoproterenol; 2) a expressão gênica e protéica de mediadores pró-inflamatórios na aorta de ratos tratados por 7 dias com isoproterenol. Os dados demonstram que: em aorta de camundongos selvagens o receptor b1-AR é mais importante em mediar vasodilatação, enquanto o b2AR modula negativamente a contração vascular de maneira dependente do endotélio. A hiperativação dos receptores b-AR aumenta a vasoconstrição à fenilefrina via desequilíbrio NO/ ânion superóxido em aorta de camundongos e o b2-AR parece estar envolvido no desencadeamento destes efeitos. Sugere-se que a ativação crônica dos receptores b-AR aumenta a síntese de fatores pró-inflamatórios e induz maior ativação do NF-kB no tecido vascular, efeitos que parecem estar associados ao aumento da reatividade vascular à fenilefrina.

Abstract in English
In this study, it was investigated: 1) the b-adrenoceptor (AR) subtypes involved in the altered vascular reactivity induced by overactivation of b-AR using b1- or b2-adrenoceptor knock-out mice and respective wild-types treated for 7 days with isoproterenol or with vehicle; 2) gene and protein expression of vascular inflammatory mediators in aorta from 7-day isoproterenol-treated rats. In conclusion, the data suggest that b1-AR is more important in the modulation of vasodilator mechanisms while b2 down regulates mice vascular contraction in an endothelium-dependent manner. Overactivation of b-AR increased vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine, by NO/ superoxide anion unbalance in mice aortic rings, and b2-AR seems to be involved in the triggering of these chronic isoproterenol effects. The results also suggest that chronic activation of b-AR enhances the synthesis of proinflammatory factors and induces higher NF-kB activation on vascular tissue, and these effects seem to be related to hiperreactivity to phenylephrine induced by chronic isoproterenol.
