Different ..beta..-adrenolytic agents, both universal and selective ..beta../sub 1/ and ..beta../sub 2/, potentiate the radioprotective effect of norepinephrine to an equal extent. Beta-adrenolytic agents also potentiate the radioprotective effects of five other protective agents: direct (mezaton (neosynephrine), fetanol) and indirect (tyramine, 0-methyltyramine), sympathomimetic agents and AET. This confirms the hypothesis that there is an antiprotective effect in the complex action of catecholamines and other protective agents, which is expressed via ..beta..-adreno-receptors. It is desirable to use ..beta..-adrenolytic agents in combinations with various radioprotective agents.
