Metabolic markers following beta-adrenoceptor agonist infusion in footshock-stressed rats.
Stress hormones can alter metabolic functions in adipose tissue and liver, as well as the sensitivity of rat white adipocytes and rat atrial responses to beta-adrenergic agonists. In this study, we examined the effects of three daily footshock stress sessions on the plasma corticosterone, glucose, glycerol and triacylglycerol levels of fed, conscious male rats, and on the plasma glucose, glycer...
متن کاملInvolvement of phosphodiesterase 4 in beta-adrenoceptor agonist-induced amylase release in parotid acinar cells.
beta-Adrenoceptor activation increases intracellular cAMP levels and consequently induces exocytotic amylase release in parotid acinar cells. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) catalyses the hydrolysis of cAMP, which terminates the downstream signaling of this second messenger. We investigated the involvement of PDE4, a cAMP-PDE, in beta-adrenoceptor agonist-induced amylase release in mouse, rat and rabbi...
متن کاملEvaluation role of beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist and antagonist in the expression of gap junction genes (connexin 37/43) in cumulus cells of women with poor ovarian response
Background: Connexon is a membrane structural protein in the gap junctions. These cellular connections are responsible for transporting ions and messenger molecules to the oocyte. This study aimed to investigate the role of beta-2-adrenoceptors in the process of follicle growth based on the expression of the two connexins 37/43 in the gap junctions that have a primary role in the mitotic resump...
متن کاملRole of the beta(3)-adrenoceptor in urine storage in the rat: comparison between the selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonist, CL316, 243, and various smooth muscle relaxants.
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of a beta(3)-adrenoceptor (beta(3)-AR) agonist on bladder function and cardiovascular parameters in rats with those of several drugs that act on smooth muscle. CL316,243 (beta(3)-AR agonist), isoproterenol (nonselective beta-AR agonist), procaterol (beta(2)-AR agonist), verapamil (Ca(2+) antagonist), and papaverine (antispastic drug) each e...
متن کاملClenbuterol, a beta-adrenoceptor agonist, increases relative muscle strength in orthopaedic patients.
1. The sympathomimetic agent clenbuterol has a muscle-specific anabolic effect in normal and wasted muscles from animals. This trial was designed to examine the effect of the drug on the recovery of muscle strength and area after open medial meniscectomy. 2. A double-blind, completely randomized, placebo-controlled study was carried out on 20 healthy male patients. Muscle strength and cross-sec...
