Effect of antihypertensive therapy with alpha methyldopa on levels of angiogenic factors in pregnancies with hypertensive disorders. [PDF]
Antihypertensive drugs are believed to lower blood pressure in pre-eclampsia by direct or central vasodilatory mechanisms. However, they could also act by decreasing production of anti-angiogenic proteins involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension ...

Cooling and alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenergic responses in cutaneous veins: role of receptor reserve.
Experiments were designed to determine the effects of cooling on alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenergic responses in isolated canine cutaneous veins. Rings of saphenous veins were suspended for isometric tension recording in physiological salt solution. Cooling
