Abstract
Summary
Forearm blood flow and venomotor responses to intravenous injection of mephentermine were studied in normal men. In each experiment blood flow decreased while arterial pressure increased. Venous pressure increased while forearm venous distensibility and venous volume decreased in each subject. In each case blood shifted from the forearm. These experiments indicate that mephentermine administration increases both peripheral resistance and venous tone in man.
