administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. in the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p

  There is evidence indicating that adrenoceptor mechanisms may influence some of the behaviors in rat. However the role of adrenoceptor agents on sniffing has not been identified. In the present study, the influence of adrenoceptor agents on sniffing induced by apomorphine and amphetamine has been investigated. Male Albino rats, weighing 150-250 g were used for all experiments. The behavior wa...

Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) has evolved from surgical therapy to medical monotherapy to combination therapy. First-line medical therapy for men with LUTS remains agents that decrease outlet resistance: alpha-adrenergic antagonists and 5alpha-reductase inhibitors. Alpha-adrenergic agents decrease smooth muscle tone in the prostate and ...
