This chapter will review the essential properties of adrenergic receptors in the physiology of cardiac function and in the pathology of cardiovascular disease. Following a systematic overview and a classification of adrenergic receptors, we will discuss the pathophysiological role of the sympathetic nervous system in several conditions including ...

β-Adrenergic agonist and antagonist regulation of autophagy in HepG2 cells, primary mouse hepatocytes, and mouse liver. [PDF]
Autophagy recently has been shown to be involved in normal hepatic function and in pathological conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Adrenergic signalling also is an important regulator of hepatic metabolism and function.

Adrenergic Receptors and Nephrone
It is well known that the renal nerve plays an important role in the regulation of renal functions such as sodium and water reabsorption in the tubules as well as in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. The renal sympathetic nerves innervate to the basement membranes of almost all nephron segments. Specific adrenergic receptors and intracellular

Circadian-related heteromerization of adrenergic and dopamine D₄ receptors modulates melatonin synthesis and release in the pineal gland. [PDF]
The role of the pineal gland is to translate the rhythmic cycles of night and day encoded by the retina into hormonal signals that are transmitted to the rest of the neuronal system in the form of serotonin and melatonin synthesis and release.

Ligands of Adrenergic Receptors: A Structural Point of View
Adrenergic receptors are G protein-coupled receptors for epinephrine and norepinephrine. They are targets of many drugs for various conditions, including treatment of hypertension, hypotension, and asthma.

Caveolae-Independent Activation of Protein Kinase A in Rat Neonatal Myocytes
Cardiomyocytes express both β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors, and these receptors play a differential role in chronotropic and inotropic effects of the heart. Caveolae are known as an important regulator of G-protein-coupled receptor signaling.
