Effect of β3-adrenergic receptor agonists on [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in brown adipose tissues in positron emission tomography images of elderly patients [PDF]

EJNMMI Research
Background Brown adipose tissues (BAT) are highly vascularized, mitochondria-rich tissues involved in thermogenesis. Physiological [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake in BAT can be influenced by several factors, including the use of medications ...

Beta1-Adrenergic Receptor Cleavage and Regulation by Elastase

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2023
Summary: The decrease in β1-adrenergic receptor responsiveness in heart failure is attributed conventionally to agonist-dependent desensitization. We identify elastase-dependent β1-adrenergic receptor cleavage as a novel proteolytic mechanism that ...

Co-Evolution of Opioid and Adrenergic Ligands and Receptors: Shared, Complementary Modules Explain Evolution of Functional Interactions and Suggest Novel Engineering Possibilities

Life, 2021
Cross-talk between opioid and adrenergic receptors is well-characterized and involves second messenger systems, the formation of receptor heterodimers, and the presence of extracellular allosteric binding regions for the complementary ligand; however ...

Influence of Receptor Polymorphisms on the Response to α-Adrenergic Receptor Blockers in Pheochromocytoma Patients

Biomedicines, 2022
Background: Presurgical treatment with an α-adrenergic receptor blocker is recommended to antagonize the catecholamine-induced α-adrenergic receptor mediated vasoconstriction in patients with pheochromocytoma or sympathetic paraganglioma (PPGL). There is,

Pregnancy modifies the α2-β-adrenergic receptor functional balance in rabbit fat cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
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

Sex-Related Effects of Prenatal Stress on Region-Specific Expression of Monoamine Oxidase A and β Adrenergic Receptors in Rat Hearts

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2018
Background: Prenatal stress may increase risk of developing cardiovascular disorders in adulthood. The cardiotoxic effects of catecholamines are mediated via prolonged adrenergic receptor stimulation and increased oxidative stress upon their degradation ...
