TL;DR
It is suggested that NAC and melatonin decreased the MAP and heart rate and improved the chronotropic response to isoproterenol in SHRs, in association with an inhibition of sympathetic activity and the restoration of cardiac β-adrenoceptor function.

These results suggest that NAC and melatonin decreased the MAP and heart rate and improved the chronotropic response to isoproterenol in SHRs, in association with an inhibition of sympathetic activity and the restoration of cardiac beta-adrenoceptor function.

Preservation of the neuronal NE reuptake mechanism is functionally important, because the antioxidants also prevented myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor downregulation and postreceptor abnormalities, and antioxidant therapy may be beneficial in heart failure, in which cardiac NE release is increased.

Favourable haemodynamic effects of nebivolol in humans are not due to β1‐selectivity or partial agonist activity of this agent, and other mechanisms, i.e. the production of nitric oxide, may be responsible for its unique haemodynamics profile.

The present study supports the possibility that functional alterations of the renin-angiotensin and sympathetic systems are involved in hypertension in SHR and suggests that the antihypertensive action of losartan and enalaprilat inSHR may be partly mediated through the normalization of sympathetic hyperreactivity and the restoration of beta-adrenergic signaling pathway sensitivity.
