BRIEF REVIEWS Molecular Characterization of Adrenergic Receptors
THIS is an appropriate time to review progress in the area of adrenergic receptors, particularly in terms of research that aims at achieving an understanding of these proteins at the level of their molecular composition. The past decade has seen an explosion in the field of adrenergic receptor pharmacology, made possible to a large extent by the development of the radioligand-binding assay. Alt...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors.
Regulation of alpha1-adrenergic receptors (alpha1ARs) is a rapidly expanding field of study due to the involvement of these receptors in several human diseases. For example, upregulation of alpha1bAR mRNA/protein with agonist exposure has been implicated in myocardial hypertrophy. In order to understand mechanisms underlying these findings, initial studies of human alpha1bAR transcription have ...
متن کاملAlpha-1 adrenergic receptors on rabbit retinal pigment epithelium.
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid-sclera preparations from black, dutch-belted rabbits were sealed in an Ussing chamber. The RPE-generated trans-RPE voltage (Ve) and electrical resistance (R) were monitored. Epinephrine (an alpha and beta adrenergic agonist) reduced Ve by as much as 39% without affecting R. A response to epinephrine was noted at concentrations as low as 1.4 X 10(-7) M. P...
متن کاملRegulation of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in man.
The sympathetic nervous system is an important regulator of the functional activities of organs such as the heart and peripheral vasculature, and also plays a vital role in modulating responses to stress. The ultimate effects of sympathetic stimulation are mediated by release of noradrenaline (norepinephrine) from nerve terminals which serves to activate the adrenergic receptors at post-synapti...
متن کاملAlpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors: Ahlquist's landmark hypothesis of a single mediator with two receptors.
For those interested in the areas of autonomic physiology and adrenergic pharmacology, there is perhaps no paper more important than Raymond Ahlquist’s seminal contribution in the American Journal of Physiology in 1948 (3). This paper established two fundamental concepts: first, that a single sympathetic mediator could produce both excitatory and inhibitory responses; and second, that adrenergi...
