Tocolytic therapy with fenoterol induces selective down-regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors in human myometrium.
Tocolytic therapy with beta-adrenergic receptor agonists is a standard regimen to prevent preterm birth. Agonists exposure of beta-adrenergic receptors causes receptor desensitization in other organs, and this may limit the therapeutic value of beta-adrenergic receptor agonists. To study the effects of prolonged beta-adrenergic agonist treatment in human myometrium, we obtained biopsies during ...
متن کاملSelective down-regulation of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors during opiate withdrawal.
The effects of opiate dependence and antagonist-precipitated withdrawal on glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptor mRNA levels in the rat brain were studied. Rats were allocated to one of four groups that differed in terms of type of drug pretreatment (morphine pellet versus placebo pellet) and type of injection on test (naloxone versus no injection). Injection of naloxone preci...
متن کاملTocolytic therapy in obstetrics.
Tocolysis means drug-induced Inhibition of premature or excessive uterine activity [38], Other terms, such äs "sedation of the irritated myometrium" or "relaxation of the uterus" have the same meaning; they are, however, not commonly applied [10, 11, 17, 29]. At the beginning of the research for new substances with inhibitory effect on the uterus it was postulated that progesterone or newlydeve...
متن کاملDown Regulation of Osteocalcin Gene in Chickens Treated with Cadmium
Background: Cadmium is one of the heavy metals with harmful effects on different body organs and systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the harmful effects of cadmium, as a heavy metal, on the histological structure of bone and the expression of osteocalcin gene. Methods: Forty chickens were obtained, anesthetized and their femurs were surgically removed. The real time polymerase ch...
متن کاملSite of beta-adrenergic receptors in the respiratory tract: use of fenoterol administered by two methods.
We have compared the short-term effects of buccal ad ministration of a solution containing 500,,n of fenotcrol and of aerosol administration of 200,,g and 400/xg of fenoterol from a metered-dose inhaler with administra tion of a placebo in ten asthmatic subjects. The study was performed in double-blind fashion, with randomized administration of drugs or placebo, to determine if the systemic abs...
