چکیده

Clonidine is reported to inhibit the az-adrenoceptor mediated pinnal reflex in mice (3). Clonidine produces its effect by acting as an oc2-adrenergic autoreceptor agonist (1). As such, clonidine is also agonist for presynaptic histamine Hz-receptors (8). To test whether the clonidine-induced inhibition of the pinnal reflex is mediated through adrenergic and/or histaminergic system, the interaction of agents influencing adrenergi,c and histaminergic systems was studied in experiments involving this reflex.

Crossing interaction of adrenergic, cholinergic, histaminergic and opioidergic systems on water intake in adult male rats

Several lines of evidence have indicated that many nuclei in the brain including preoptic nucleus, AV3V, subfornical organ, septal area and lateral hypothalamus are the targets of efferents from chemo-sensitive and pressure-sensitive systems. These areas may concern with regulation of fluid homeostasis. In the present study, intracerebroventricular injections were carried out in all experiments...

Role of the adrenergic system in physostigmine-induced yawning

In this study the effect of adrenergic receptor agonists and antagonists on physostigmine induced yawning was investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of different doses of physostigmine (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) caused yawning in white rats. The greatest response was seen at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine. Phenylephrine, an α1 agonist, and clonidine, an α2 agonist, led to a decrease in...

The role of central α-adrenergic receptors on imipramine-induced antinociception as revealed by formalin test in rat

In this study, the effect of α-adrenoceptor agents on imipramine-induced antinociception was investigated using formalin test. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of imipramine at different doses (10-80 mg/kg) induced antinociception in both phases of formalin test. In addition, intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of imipramine (1, 5, and 10 µg/rat) did not elicit any effect, although ...

Contribution of GIRK2-mediated postsynaptic signaling to opiate and alpha 2-adrenergic analgesia and analgesic sex differences.

The analgesia produced by inhibitory G protein-coupled receptor agonists involves coordinated postsynaptic inhibition via G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) and presynaptic inhibition of neurotransmitter release through regulation of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels. Here, we used mice lacking the GIRK2 channel subunit to assess the relative contribution of these two ...
