Neuronal ensembles sufficient for recovery sleep and the sedative actions of α2 adrenergic agonists
Do sedatives engage natural sleep pathways? It is usually assumed that anesthetic-induced sedation and loss of righting reflex (LORR) arise by influencing the same circuitry to lesser or greater extents.

Transmural Autonomic Regulation of Cardiac Contractility at the Intact Heart Level
The relationship between cardiac excitability and contractility depends on when Ca2+ influx occurs during the ventricular action potential (AP). In mammals, it is accepted that Ca2+ influx through the L-type Ca2+ channels occurs during AP phase 2 ...

β2-adrenergic receptor knockout mice exhibit A diabetic retinopathy phenotype. [PDF]
There is considerable evidence from our lab and others for a functional link between β-adrenergic receptor and insulin receptor signaling pathways in retina.

Cancer cells become less deformable and more invasive with activation of β-adrenergic signaling
Invasion by cancer cells is a crucial step in metastasis. An oversimplified view in the literature is that cancer cells become more deformable as they become more invasive.

Cardiac Effects of Attenuating Gsα - Dependent Signaling. [PDF]
Inhibition of β-adrenergic signalling plays a key role in treatment of heart failure. Gsα is essential for β-adrenergic signal transduction. In order to reduce side-effects of beta-adrenergic inhibition diminishing β-adrenergic signalling in the heart at

Aripiprazole induced priapism: A case report
Background: Priapism is a urologic emergency representing a true disorder of penile erection that persists beyond or is unrelated to sexual interest or stimulation. Variety of drugs is known to produce priapism, including psychotropics. Case description:

The aim of this study was to define the role of the alpha-adrenergic receptor in the regulation of lipolysis by human adipocytes. Glycerol production by isolated human adipocytes was stimulated by the pure beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol in a dose ...

Pregnancy modifies the α2-β-adrenergic receptor functional balance in rabbit fat cells
The sympathetic nervous system controls lipolysis in fat by activation of four adrenergic receptors: β1, β2, β3, and α2. During pregnancy, maternal metabolism presents anabolic and catabolic phases, characterized by modifications of fat responsiveness to
