  • Effects of chronic stress on beta-adrenergic receptors in the homeless

    J E Dimsdale, Paul J Mills et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1994

    This study examined the role of chronic life stress (homelessness), coping style, and hypertension on beta-adrenergic receptors in a sample of homeless men. Sixteen healthy normotensive subjects and nine untreated hypertensive subjects were studied. Life stress was measured with the Brown and Harris categorization; coping style was measured with the Ways of Coping Scale. Lymphocyte beta-adrenergic receptors were characterized in terms of receptor…

  • Patterns of adrenergic receptors and adrenergic agonists underlying cardiovascular responses to a psychological challenge

    Paul J Mills, J E Dimsdale et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1994

    Numerous physiological and biochemical factors contribute to the dynamic regulation of the cardiovascular system. This study used a cluster analytic statistical technique to discern patterns of adrenergic receptors and adrenergic agonists underlying cardiovascular responses to a laboratory challenge. Fifty hypertensive and normotensive black and white individuals had their beta- and alpha-adrenergic receptor sensitivity determined through agonist…

  • Beta-adrenergic receptors predict heart rate reactivity to a psychosocial stressor

    Paul J Mills, J E Dimsdale et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1990

    We examined the ability of baseline measures of receptors (lymphocyte beta-adrenergic) and nonreceptors (plasma catecholamines, heart rate, and blood pressure) to predict cardiovascular responses to a mental arithmetic task. Twenty-five male volunteers served as subjects. Nonreceptor measures predicted the heart rate response to stress poorly (p = 0.67). However, beta receptor density and sensitivity explained 48.4% of the variance in heart rate …

  • The promise of receptor studies in psychophysiologic research

    Paul J Mills, J E DimsdaleARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1988

    Most research on reactivity to stressors limits its focus to the neurohormonal and cardiovascular components of reactivity. There is, however, another area of investigation with important implications to this field. Receptor binding techniques provide a direct measure of the functional link between neurohormonal signals and the responses they stimulate. Receptor measurement would enable psychophysiologic studies to begin to address the complete t…

  • Do plasma norepinephrine levels reflect behavioral stress

    J E Dimsdale, D Young et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1987

    The interpretation of plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels is not straightforward because such levels represent a complex of synaptic discharge, metabolism, uptake, and regional blood flow. Some investigators have argued that peripheral NE levels bear little semblance to sympathetic nervous system activity affecting the cardiovascular system. This study examines this question in further detail. Eleven men (average age = 29) were studied. Plasma NE l…
