Alpha2-adrenergic receptor-induced vascular constriction in blacks and whites.
Black Americans have a reduced hypotensive response to the alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine compared with whites, despite similar central sympathoinhibition. This reduced hypotensive response might be explained by greater postsynaptic vascular alpha2-adrenergic receptor vasoconstrictive response. However, clonidine has a low alpha2/alpha1 selectivity ratio. Therefore, to determine t...
متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of beta2-adrenergic receptor function and regulation.
It is now clear that the beta2-adrenergic receptor continuously oscillates between various conformations in the basal state, and that agonists act to stabilize one or more conformations. It is conceivable that synthetic agonists might be engineered to preferentially confine the receptor to certain conformations deemed clinically important while having a less stabilizing effect on unwanted confo...

The format of the feature will follow the mnemunic STEP: safety (an analysis of adverse effects that patients and providers care about), toler...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the beta2 adrenergic receptor gene.
beta-Adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs) are members of the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate the effects of catecholamines in the sympathetic nervous system. Three distinct beta-AR subtypes have been identified (beta1-AR, beta2-AR, and beta3-AR). In order to define further the role of the different beta-AR subtypes, we have used gene targeting to inactivate selectively the be...
