Fat cell adrenergic receptors and the control of white and brown fat cell function

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Five adrenoceptor subtypes are involved in the adrenergic regulation of white and brown fat cell function. The effects on cAMP production and cAMP-related cellular responses are mediated through the control of adenylyl cyclase activity by the stimulatory

Vasoactivity of Rac GTPase, Cytohesin and Kinase Inhibitors in Renal Interlobar and Coronary Arteries Reveals Shared and Distinct Patterns of Inhibitory Effects in Vascular and Prostate Smooth Muscle Contraction. [PDF]

Pharmacol Res Perspect
ABSTRACT Inhibition of vasocontraction accounts for side effects in treating voiding symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We examined the vasoactivity of compounds previously showing inhibition of prostate smooth muscle contraction. Contractions of porcine renal interlobar and coronary arteries were induced by agonists or electric field ...

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]

, 2017
The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

Effects of muscarinic, alpha-adrenergic, and substance P agonists and ionomycin on ion transport mechanisms in the rat parotid acinar cell. The dependence of ion transport on intracellular calcium

The Journal of General Physiology, 1989
The relationship between receptor-mediated increases in the intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca]i) and the stimulation of ion fluxes involved in fluid secretion was examined in the rat parotid acinar cell.

Catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction is sensitive to carbonic anhydrase I activation

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
We studied the relationship between alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists and the activity of carbonic anhydrase I and II in erythrocyte, clinical and vessel studies. Kinetic studies were performed.

Renoprotective and haemodynamic effects of adiponectin and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist, pioglitazone, in renal vasculature of diabetic Spontaneously hypertensive rats.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Pioglitazone, a therapeutic drug for diabetes, possesses full PPAR-γ agonist activity and increase circulating adiponectin plasma concentration. Plasma adiponectin concentration decreases in hypertensive patients with renal dysfunctions.
