Age differences in gain- and loss-motivated attention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Adaptive gain theory (Aston-Jones & Cohen, 2005) suggests that the phasic release of norepinephrine (NE) to cortical areas reflects changes in the utility of ongoing tasks. In the context of aging, this theory raises interesting questions, given that the

Role of α2-adrenoceptors in the lateral parabrachial nucleus in the control of body fluid homeostasis

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014
Central α2-adrenoceptors and the pontine lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) are involved in the control of sodium and water intake. Bilateral injections of moxonidine (α2-adrenergic/imidazoline receptor agonist) or noradrenaline into the LPBN strongly ...

Alfa2-adrenergisten agonistien aiheuttama hypoksemia pienillä märehtijöillä : kirjallisuuskatsaus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Alfa2-adrenergiset agonistit ovat keskeisiä lääkeaineita eläinanestesiologiassa rauhoittavan ja kipua poistavan vaikutuksensa vuoksi. Pienille märehtijöille ne kuitenkin aiheuttavat merkittävän valtimoveren happiosapaineen laskun (hypoksemia).

Effect of Clonidine on Renal Sodium Handling in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Up-regulation of kidney α2-adrenoceptor expression has been implicated in the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). This study was carried out to evaluate renal sodium excretion in response to clonidine administration in ...

Dexmedetomidine: Expanding role in anesthesia

open access: yesMedical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil University, 2013
The potential uses of dexmedetomidine (DEX), a highly selective α2 - adrenoceptor agonist are very diverse. DEX appears to mimic many of the actions of mythical ′ideal′ sedative/analgesic agent.

α2-adrenoreceptor modulated FAK pathway induced by dexmedetomidine attenuates pulmonary microvascular hyper-permeability following kidney injury

open access: yes, 2016
Renal ischemia-reperfusion (rI/R) could cause remote acute lung injury (ALI) and combination of these two organ injuries can remarkably increase the mortality.
