Reduction of Spinal Sensory Transmission by Facilitation of 5HT1B/D
42 Activation of receptors by serotonin (5HT1) and noradrenaline (α2) on primary afferent 43 terminals and excitatory interneurons reduces transmission in spinal sensory pathways. Loss or 44 reduction of descending sources of serotonin and noradrenaline after spinal cord injury (SCI) and 45 the subsequent reduction of 5HT1/α2-receptor activity contributes, in part, to the emergence of 46 excess...
متن کاملSustained Hypoxia Elicits Competing Spinal Mechanisms of Phrenic Motor Facilitation.
UNLABELLED Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) induces phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF), a form of spinal motor plasticity. Competing mechanisms give rise to phrenic motor facilitation (pMF; a general term including pLTF) depending on the severity of hypoxia within episodes. In contrast, moderate acute sustained hypoxia (mASH) does not elicit pMF. By varying the severity of ASH and targeting ...
متن کاملNorepinephrine Drives Persistent Activity in Prefrontal Cortex via Synergistic α1 and α2 Adrenoceptors
Optimal norepinephrine levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) increase delay-related firing and enhance working memory, whereas stress-related or pathologically high levels of norepinephrine are believed to inhibit working memory via α1 adrenoceptors. However, it has been shown that activation of Gq-coupled and phospholipase C-linked receptors can induce persistent firing, a cellular correlate o...
متن کاملCardiac α1-Adrenoceptors and Inotropy
Cardiac α1-adrenoceptor stimulation elicits a positive inotropic effect because of myofilament Ca2+ sensitization with a small increase in Ca2+ transients predominantly mediated by α1B-adrenoceptors via the intracellular alkalinization and potential myosin light chain 2 phosphorylation. However, the α1-adrenoceptor– mediated inotropy exhibits a wide range of species-dependent variation. In addi...
متن کاملDimerization of α1-adrenoceptors
Three distinct genes encode α1-adrenoceptors. Although homodimers of each subtype have been reported, certain but not all combinations of heterodimers of the α1-adrenoceptors appear to form. Key studies in this field are reviewed and the approaches that have been applied to monitoring the selectivity and the basis of α1-adrenoceptor dimerization are discussed. Introduction GPCRs (G-protein-coup...
