Quantification of [11C]yohimbine binding to α2 adrenoceptors in rat brain in vivo
We quantified the binding potentials (BPND) of [(11)C]yohimbine binding in rat brain to alpha-2 adrenoceptors to evaluate [(11)C]yohimbine as an in vivo marker of noradrenergic neurotransmission and to examine its sensitivity to the level of noradrenaline. Dual [(11)C]yohimbine dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) recordings were applied to five Sprague Dawley rats at baseline, followed b...
متن کاملPostjunctional α2-adrenoceptors are not present in proximal arterioles of rat intestine.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate two potential stimuli for nitric oxide (NO) release in rat intestinal arterioles during sympathetic nerve activation. To determine whether these vessels contain endothelial α2-adrenoceptors linked to thel-arginine-NO pathway, intravital microscopy was used to study the response of first-order arterioles (1As, 20-40 μm ID) to direct application of 1) the...
متن کاملContribution of α2-adrenoceptors in caudal ventrolateral medulla to cardiovascular regulation in rat.
The inhibitory action of α2-agonists on the cardiovascular neurons has been elucidated in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) but not in the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM). Our study aimed to clarify whether microinjection of clonidine into the CVLM elicits any cardiovascular effect and whether endogenous α2-adrenoceptor-mediated mechanisms contribute to the tonic activity of the CVLM...
متن کاملContribution of α2-adrenoceptors and Y1 neuropeptide Y receptors to the blunting of sympathetic vasoconstriction induced by systemic hypoxia in the rat
There is evidence that sympathetically evoked vasoconstriction in skeletal muscle is blunted in systemic hypoxia, but the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not clear. In Saffan-anaesthetized Wistar rats, we have studied the role of alpha(2)-adrenoceptors and neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y(1) receptors in mediating vasoconstriction evoked by direct stimulation of the lumbar sympathetic chain by ...
متن کاملDifferential Inhibition of Ca2+ channels by alpha2-adrenoceptors in three functional subclasses of rat sympathetic neurons.
A comparison of identified sympathetic neurons in the isolated intact superior cervical ganglion revealed that secretomotor, pilomotor, and vasoconstrictor cells differ in their action potential mechanisms and in their postsynaptic alpha(2)-adrenergic responses to 10 microM norepinephrine (NE). In normal saline, the half-width of the spike afterhyperpolarization (AHP) in secretomotor neurons (1...
