Pheochromocytoma – clinical manifestations, diagnosis and current perioperative management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the excessive production of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). The diagnosis is suspected due to hypertensive paroxysms, associated with vegetative phenomena, due to the

Preponderance of alpha 2- over beta 1-adrenergic receptor sites in human fat cells is not predictive of the lipolytic effect of physiological catecholamines

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1983
Adrenergic control of human fat cell lipolysis is mediated by two kinds of receptor sites that are simultaneously stimulated by physiological amines. To establish a correlation between the binding characteristics of the receptor and biological functions,

A selective alpha1D-adrenoreceptor antagonist inhibits human prostate cancer cell proliferation and motility "in vitro" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The progression of prostate cancer (PC) to a metastatic hormone refractory disease is the major contributor to the overall cancer mortality in men, mainly because the conventional therapies are generally ineffective at this stage. Thus, other therapeutic

An assay for beta-adrenergic receptors in isolated human fat cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1982
The beta-adrenergic receptors have been characterized in isolated human adipocytes using a potent beta-adrenergic antagonist (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol.

Cannabinoid Receptor Involvement in Stress-Induced Cocaine Reinstatement: Potential Interaction with Noradrenergic Pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This study examined the role of endocannabinoid signaling in stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking and explored the interaction between noradrenergic and endocannabinergic systems in the process.

Inhibition of the lipolytic action of beta-adrenergic agonists in human adipocytes by alpha-adrenergic agonists.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1981
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 ...

A beta 1+2 adrenergic receptor antagonist blunts the decrease in the cerebral metabolic ratio during exhaustive exercise in humans

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Intense exercise decreases the cerebral metabolic ratio of O2 to carbohydrates (glucose + ½ lactate), but whether it is influenced by administration of a beta 1+2 adrenergic receptor antagonist is not known. In eight males incremental cycle ergometry increased the arterial lactate to 15.34 ± 1.46 mM (mean ± SEM) and arterial‐jugular venous (a‐v ...

Study of Inferior Thyroid Artery and its Relation to the Sympathetic Chain in Full Term Fetuses [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2016
Introduction: Familial dysautonomia and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are amongst the most frequently encountered dysautonomias were sympathetic cardiac dysfunction is indicated by prolonged corrected QT interval.

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

open access: yes, 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
