Resumen en inglés Background: Phenylephrine (PHE) produces higher aortothoracic contractile tension with endothelium (TON) compared to potassium chloride (KCl). Both are exponential triphasic responses (Φ1, Φ2, Φ3) but their kinetics have not been compared with the time constant (τ in s). Goal. To study the triphasic TOn kinetics (τ: Φ1, Φ2(fundamental) and Φ3) of 1μM PHE vs 40mM KCl. Material and methods: We compared numerical values of τ1, τ2, τ3 of the TOn of prepubertal male Wistar rats (without established reproductive capacity) with adult male ones. Results: Φ2 showed higher gain (g), shorter delay time (s), and faster kinetics of TOn at PHE than at KCl. Conclusions: In the time course of TOn only the fundamental exponential phase was faster with PHE than with KCl.
