Injection of NiCl<sub>2</sub>, which blocks T-type voltage-dependent Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels (T-VDCC), causes in 100% of rats the occurrence of PHRBC accompanied by a decrease in the role of neural influences and an increase in the role of neurohumoral factors in the mechanisms of heart rate regulation. Activation of β-AR causes shifts of physiological parameters qualitatively and quantitatively similar to those observed after NiCl<sub>2</sub> poisoning in rats, but PHRBC does not occur. Pharmacological analysis with premedication of rats with β-AR antagonists (propranolol, atenolol) or α-AR antagonists (phentolamine) followed by NiCl<sub>2</sub> administration showed that β-AR blockade with the nonselective adrenolytic propranolol prevents the development of PSRBC in half of the rats. In animals with pathologic arrhythmia occurring after NiCl<sub>2</sub> injection, a rapid increase in the load on the sympathoadrenal system is noted, and the initial (background) instability of the mechanisms of heart rhythm regulation is revealed. Blockade of α- and β<sub>1</sub>-AR does not prevent the development of PHRBC during subsequent NiCl<sub>2</sub> administration, which suggests the participation of β<sub>2</sub>-AR in the development of arrhythmia. Administration of the selective β<sub>2</sub>-AR agonist clenbuterol to rats leads to a decrease in HRV, including neurohumoral regulation and the appearance of low-amplitude (&lt; 0.1 c) bradycardic complexes (BC) in 22% of rats. The results obtained by us together with the analysis of the literature suggest that β-AR plays an important role in the complex changes in the balance of regulatory influences in the occurrence of PHRBCs. Activation of β<sub>1</sub>-AR contributes to increased release of catecholamines by adrenal chromaffin cells, increased role of neurohumoral component of heart rhythm regulation and causes activation of β<sub>2</sub>-AR. Blockade of β<sub>2</sub>-AR, on the contrary, reduces the release of catecholamines and prevents the development of pathological arrhythmia. The second necessary factor leading to the development of arrhythmias with high-amplitude BCs is blockade of T-type calcium channels.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В экспериментах на 3-дневных крысятах для выявления возможного участия адренорецепторов (АР) в развитии патологического сердечного ритма с высокоамплитудными (&gt; 0.5 c) брадикардическими комплексами (ПСРБК), возникающего у новорожденных крыс после введения NiCl<sub>2</sub>, проведен сравнительный анализ изменения показателей вариабельности сердечного ритма (ВСР), частоты сердцебиения и дыхания после инъекции NiCl<sub>2</sub> и высокой дозы агониста β-АР изопротеренола. Введение NiCl<sub>2</sub>, блокирующего кальциевые каналы Т-типа (T-type voltage-dependent Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel, T-VDCC), вызывает у 100% крысят возникновение ПСРБК, сопровождающегося снижением роли нервных влияний и возрастанием роли нейрогуморальных факторов в механизмах регуляции сердечного ритма. Активация β-АР вызывает сдвиги физиологических показателей, качественно и количественно сходные с наблюдаемыми после отравления крысят NiCl<sub>2</sub>, но при этом ПСРБК не возникает. Фармакологический анализ с премедикацией крысят антагонистами β-АР (пропранолол, атенолол) или α-АР (фентоламин) с последующим введением NiCl<sub>2</sub> показал, что блокада β-АР неселективным адренолитиком пропранололом предотвращает развитие ПСРБК у половины крысят. У животных с возникающей после инъекции NiCl<sub>2</sub> патологической аритмией отмечается резкое увеличение нагрузки на симпатоадреналовую систему, а также выявляется первоначальная (фоновая) неустойчивость механизмов регуляции сердечного ритма. Блокада α- и β<sub>1</sub>-АР не препятствует развитию ПСРБК при последующем введении NiCl<sub>2</sub>, что позволяет предполагать участие β<sub>2</sub>-АР в развитии аритмии. Введение крысятам селективного агониста β<sub>2</sub>-АР кленбутерола приводит к снижению ВСР, включая нейрогуморальное звено регуляции, и появлению у 22% крысят низкоамплитудных (&lt; 0.1 c) брадикардических комплексов (БК). Полученные нами результаты в совокупности с анализом литературы позволяют полагать, что при возникновении ПСРБК в сложной совокупности изменений баланса регулирующих влияний важная роль принадлежит β-АР. Активация β<sub>1</sub>-АР способствует усилению выброса катехоламинов хромаффинными клетками надпочечников, возрастанию роли нейрогуморального звена регуляции сердечного ритма и вызывает активацию β<sub>2</sub>-АР. Блокада β<sub>2</sub>-АР, наоборот, снижает выброс катехоламинов и препятствует развитию патологической аритмии. Вторым необходимым фактором, приводящим к развитию аритмии с высокоамплитудными БК, является блокада кальциевых каналов Т-типа.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>newborn rats</kwd><kwd>dysrhythmia</kwd><kwd>heart rate variability</kwd><kwd>calcium channels</kwd><kwd>nickel chloride</kwd><kwd>adrenoreceptors</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>новорожденные крысы</kwd><kwd>дизритмия</kwd><kwd>вариабельность сердечного ритма</kwd><kwd>кальциевые каналы</kwd><kwd>хлорид никеля</kwd><kwd>адренорецепторы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Правительство РФ</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Government of the Russian Federation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>075-00264-24-00</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kuznetsov SV, Goncharov NV, Glashkina LM (2005) Change of parameters of functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in rats of different ages under effects of low doses of the cholinesterase inhibitor phosphacol.
