In neonates, the increase in O(2)-delivery (DO(2)) by dopamine is offset by a greater increase in O(2)-consumption (VO(2)). This has been attributed to β(3)-adrenergic receptors in neonatal brown fat tissue. β(3) receptors in the heart have negative inotropic properties. We evaluated the effects of SR59230A, a β(3)-antagonist, on the balance of systemic and myocardial O(2)-transport in newborn lambs treated with dopamine.
