Hypoxia sensing through β-adrenergic receptors.
Life-sustaining responses to low oxygen, or hypoxia, depend on signal transduction by HIFs, but the underlying mechanisms by which cells sense hypoxia are not completely understood. Based on prior studies suggesting a link between the β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and hypoxia responses, we hypothesized that the β-AR mediates hypoxia sensing and is necessary for HIF-1α accumulation. Beta blocker ...
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 کاملAdrenergic Receptors
Neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) that project to the brainstem and spinal cord are important for autonomic regulation. The excitability of pre-autonomic PVN neurons is controlled by the noradrenergic input from the brainstem. In this study, we determined the role of " 2 adrenergic receptors in the regulation of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs to spinally projecting PVN neu...
متن کاملModulation of β-Adrenergic Receptors in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus Influences Counterregulatory Responses to Hypoglycemia
OBJECTIVE Norepinephrine is locally released into the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a key brain glucose-sensing region in the response to hypoglycemia. As a result, this neurotransmitter may play a role in modulating counterregulatory responses. This study examines whether norepinephrine acts to promote glucose counterregulation via specific VMH β-adrenergic receptors (BAR). RESEARCH DESIG...
متن کاملMolecular Basis of Ligand Dissociation in β-Adrenergic Receptors
The important and diverse biological functions of β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) have promoted the search for compounds to stimulate or inhibit their activity. In this regard, unraveling the molecular basis of ligand binding/unbinding events is essential to understand the pharmacological properties of these G protein-coupled receptors. In this study, we use the steered molecular dynamics simulat...
