Alterations to VEGF-A and TSP-1 with elevated CORT and concomitant prazosin treatment. [PDF]
RNA or protein was isolated from the TA muscle after 1W or 2W of CORT with or without concurrent prazosin treatment. Taqman qPCR was used to assess the mRNA levels of VEGF-A (A,B) and TSP-1 (D,E), while VEGF-A protein was assessed by ELISA (C) and TSP-1 ...

Comparison of alpha-2 agonist versus alpha-1 antagonist for post-traumatic stress disorder–associated nightmares in pediatric patients [PDF]
Introduction Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children and adolescents has a high prevalence of accompanying sleep disturbances. Currently, pediatric treatment of PTSD-related nightmares is extrapolated from adult studies.

Brain sparing in fetal growth restriction: The double‐edged sword of fetal hypoxaemia
Abstract figure legend The double‐edged sword of brain sparing. Fetal hypoxaemia triggers a coordinated adaptive response characterised by redistribution of cardiac output toward essential organs, including the brain, and a reduction in overall metabolic activity to preserve oxygen supply.

This cohort study examined whether GLP‐1 receptor agonist prescriptions are associated with alcohol use among NIH All of Us participants. Those with current GLP‐1RA prescriptions showed modestly lower AUDIT‐C scores compared to those with future prescriptions. GLP‐1RAs may reduce alcohol consumption by reducing drinking frequency.

Effects of prazosin treatment on ethanol- and sucrose-seeking and intake in P rats [PDF]
Background: Previous studies show that prazosin, an α 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist, decreases alcohol drinking in animal models of alcohol use and dependence and in alcohol-dependent men.

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 NSW Poisons Information Centre data identified 1030 deliberate prazosin self‐poisonings over 11 years, rising from 13 to 170 per year (2014–2024). Young women predominated, likely due to expanded off‐label (but accepted) psychiatric use of prazosin. Better evidence on benefits of off‐label use is needed to justify increasing risks.

Chronic Treatment with Prazosin Causes a Subtype-specific Increase in the α1-Adrenoceptor Density of the Stressed Rat Cerebral Cortex [PDF]
The effects of chronic treatment with prazosin and of immobilization stress on the α1-adrenoceptor subtypes in rat cerebral cortex have been examined.

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
