Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

Preclinical common data elements for general pharmacological studies (pharmacokinetic sample collection, tolerability, and drug administration). A report of the TASK3‐WG1A General Pharmacology Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Growing concerns over rigor and reproducibility of preclinical studies, including consistency across laboratories and translation to clinical populations, have triggered efforts to harmonize methodologies. This includes the first set of preclinical common data elements (CDEs) for epilepsy research studies, as well as Case Report Forms (CRFs ...

Beta-adrenergic receptor 1 selective antagonism inhibits norepinephrine-mediated TNF-alpha downregulation in experimental liver cirrhosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Bacterial translocation is a frequent event in cirrhosis leading to an increased inflammatory response. Splanchnic adrenergic system hyperactivation has been related with increased bacterial translocation. We aim at evaluating the interacting

The impact of high density receptor clusters on VEGF signaling [PDF]

EPTCS 125, 2013, pp. 37-52, 2013
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is involved in the process of blood vessel development and maintenance. Signaling is initiated by binding of the bivalent VEGF ligand to the membrane-bound receptors (VEGFR), which in turn stimulates receptor dimerization.

Efficacy of the β2-adrenergic receptor is determined by conformational equilibrium in the transmembrane region

Nature Communications, 2012
Many drugs that target G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) induce or inhibit their signal transduction with different strengths, which affect their therapeutic properties.

Locus Coeruleus Noradrenergic‐Spinal Projections Contribute to Electroacupuncture‐Mediated Antinociception in Postoperative Pain in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How locus coeruleus noradrenergic‐spinal projections and subsequent α2A adrenoceptors‐CaMKII signaling cascades contribute to electroacupuncture‐induced antinociception in postoperative pain in mice is described. Abstract Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare.

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

Alpha adrenergic modulation on effects of norepinephrine transporter inhibitor reboxetine in five-choice serial reaction time task

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009
The study examined the effects of a norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibitor reboxetine (RBX) on an attentional performance test. Adult SD rats trained with five-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT) were administered with RBX (0, 3.0 and 10 mg/kg)

The use of α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists in the prevention of adverse outcomes of COVID-19 infection in obese patients

Advances in Human Biology, 2022
Obesity is widely reported to be associated with a higher risk of the severity and worse clinical outcome of COVID-19. With the global prevalence of obesity, exploring the relationship between obesity and the severity of COVID-19 disease is of major ...
