Beta-Adrenergic Agonists
Inhaled β₂-adrenoceptor (β₂-AR) agonists are considered essential bronchodilator drugs in the treatment of bronchial asthma, both as symptoms-relievers and, in combination with inhaled corticosteroids, as disease-controllers. In this article, we first review the basic mechanisms by which the β₂-adrenergic system contributes to the control of airway smooth muscle tone. Then, we go on describing ...
متن کاملVoltage regulates adrenergic receptor function.
The present study demonstrates that agonist-mediated activation of α2A adrenergic receptors (α(2A)AR) is voltage-dependent. By resolving the kinetics of conformational changes of α(2A)AR at defined membrane potentials, we show that negative membrane potentials in the physiological range promote agonist-mediated activation of α(2A)AR. We discovered that the conformational change of α(2A)AR by vo...
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 کاملα2A -Adrenergic receptor polymorphisms and mRNA expression levels are associated with delay discounting in cocaine users.
Cocaine users characteristically display preferences for smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed rewards, and this delay discounting (DD) has been proposed as an endophenotype of cocaine addiction. Recent evidence suggests that the norepinephrine system and more specifically the α2A -adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A) are impacted by chronic cocaine use while also being potentially involved in ...
متن کاملAlpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists are neuroprotective in experimental models of glaucoma.
PURPOSE The glaucomas are characterized by chronic progressive ganglion cell loss over many years. A drug with neuroprotective activity should increase the resistance of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) to chronic stress or injury and therefore enhance survival. Brimonidine is a highly selective and potent alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, which lowers intra-ocu-lar pressure (IOP) and is neuropr...
