[The effect of acetylcholine and serotonin on the adrenergic reaction of the rat small intestine].
Acetylcholine and serotonine depressed the sensitivity of the rat small intestine's receptors and enhanced the maximal alpha-adrenergic response. Acetylcholine acted as a competitive inhibitor of beta-adrenergic response, the latter being insensitive to serotonine. Acetylcholine even in the threshold concentrations (1.0 x 10(11) M) increased the noradrenaline desensitization of the adrenoreceptors.
