Guanethidine-induced destruction of peripheral sympathetic neurons occurs by an immune-mediated mechanism.
Guanethidine, a guanidinium adrenergic neuron blocking agent, when administered chronically at high doses to newborn or adult rats, causes destruction of peripheral sympathetic neurons. Neuronal destruction is preceded by small cell infiltration of the sympathetic ganglia and is suggestive of an immunologically mediated mechanism. Immune reconstitution experiments were carried out to demonstrat...
متن کاملA peripheral adrenoceptor-mediated sympathetic mechanism can transform stress-induced analgesia into hyperalgesia.
BACKGROUND Stress has paradoxical effects on pain, causing stress-induced analgesia but also exacerbating pain via poorly understood mechanisms. Adrenergic neurotransmission is integral in pathways that regulate the response to both pain and stress. Hyperalgesia is often associated with enhanced adrenergic sensitivity of primary afferents, but sympathetic nervous system outflow has not been dem...
متن کاملSympathetic blockade of isolated limbs by intravenous guanethidine.
As a result of experience at the Montreal General Hospital, it has been found that intravenous guanethidine blockade of extremities has therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic value in conditions where the aetiology is a disorder of sympathetic nervous conduction. The properties of guanethidine, namely its selective action on blocking the sympathetic nervous system peripherally, together with ...
متن کاملImmune mediated mechanisms of melanocyte destruction
Insights into immune reactions against benign and malignant melanocytes may help the development of more efficient immunotherapeutic treatments for melanoma. The interplay between an active systemic antitumor immunity and a responsive local tumor environment is crucial to achieve effective clinical responses. Increasing evidence confirms this strategy can lead to an adequate and durable immunos...
متن کاملNovel method for localized, functional sympathetic nervous system denervation of peripheral tissue using guanethidine.
A simple technique for local chemical sympathectomy of peripheral tissues is described using guanethidine. Multiple microinjections of guanethidine were made into inguinal or epididymal white adipose tissue (IWAT and EWAT) pads or spleens of hamsters. Guanethidine virtually abolished the sympathetic innervation of both EWAT and IWAT, as measured by the absence of significant norepinephrine (NE)...
