The Role of Central Catecholaminergic Systems in Regulation of Food Intake of Chicks
To clarify catecholaminergic systems on the regulation of food intake in the neonatal chick, we examined the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of prazosin (α1-adrenoceptor antagonist), yohimbine (α2-adrenoceptor antagonist ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment; however, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. METHODS We investigated CCH‐induced glymphatic dysfunction and neurodegeneration in amyloid precursor protein (APP)/presenilin 1 (PS1) and wild‐type mice.

Effects of bcrp and p-gp modulators on the penetration of aflatoxin b1 into the mouse brain [PDF]
This study was conducted to determine whether the plasma and brain concentrations of AFB1 are affected by the modulation of P-gp and BCRP using zosuquidar (ZQR) and prazosin (PRZ), respectively. In this study, a total of 40 healthy adult male BALB/c mice

Prazosin + Naltrexone Decreases Alcohol Drinking More Effectively Than Does Either Drug Alone in P Rats with a Protracted History of Extensive Voluntary Alcohol Drinking, Dependence, and Multiple Withdrawals [PDF]
Background Prazosin (PRZ, an α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist) and naltrexone (NTX, a non-specific opioid receptor antagonist) each decrease alcohol drinking when administered to rats selectively-bred for high voluntary alcohol drinking (alcohol ...

ABSTRACT Excessive sweating is a common side effect of antidepressants, affecting approximately 22% of patients. Antidepressant‐induced excessive sweating (ADIES) can significantly impair quality of life and medication adherence. This case report explores the use of Vitamin E as a novel adjunct treatment for ADIES.

The α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, clonidine, reduces alcohol drinking in alcohol-preferring (P) rats [PDF]
Evidence suggests that noradrenergic signaling may play a role in mediating alcohol-drinking behavior in both rodents and humans. We have investigated this possibility by administering clonidine to alcohol-drinking rats selectively bred for alcohol ...

Glymphatic System Dysfunction in Central Nervous System Diseases
Glymphatic Dysfunction in Neurological Disorders: The glymphatic system is a brain‐wide clearance system that removes neurotoxic waste via AQP4‐mediated CSF‐ISF exchange. Dysfunction through AQP4 mislocalization, BBB injury, and inflammation annihilates clearance and causes acute (stroke, TBI) and chronic disease.

Comparison of 7 α1-adrenoceptor Antagonists in Patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:A Short-term Crossover Study [PDF]
A crossover study was conducted to identify the best α1-adrenoceptor (α1AR) antagonist for individual patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). One hundred thirteen patients (mean age 70.8 years)

The Use of Non‐Selective Beta‐Blockers in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Non‐selective beta‐blockers (NSBBs) reduce portal pressure and play a key role in preventing variceal bleeding, managing ascites, and preventing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients. Their clinical application requires individualized strategies and further optimization of indications. ABSTRACT Liver cirrhosis is the end stage of various
