DISTRIBUTION OF CATECHOLAMINERGIC NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND RELATED RECEPTORS IN HUMAN BRONCHUS-ASSOCIATED LYMPHOID TISSUE [PDF]
Background: The functions of the bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) are under the control of the autonomic nervous system ( sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers).

Mapping the druggable allosteric space of G-protein coupled receptors: a fragment-based molecular dynamics approach. [PDF]
To address the problem of specificity in G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery, there has been tremendous recent interest in allosteric drugs that bind at sites topographically distinct from the orthosteric site. Unfortunately, structure-based

α1B-adrenergic receptors differentially associate with Rab proteins during homologous and heterologous desensitization. [PDF]
Internalization of G protein-coupled receptors can be triggered by agonists or by other stimuli. The process begins within seconds of cell activation and contributes to receptor desensitization.

Response of Urinary Bladder to Cholinergic and Adrenergic Agents [PDF]
1977-01The pharmacologic response of bladder muscle strip of albino rabbits was studied in vitro. The effect of cholinergic and adrenergic agents and their antagonists were demonstrated with a log dose-response curve.

The adenylate cyclase receptor complex and aqueous humor formation. [PDF]
The secretory tissue of the eye, the ciliary processes, contains an enzyme receptor complex, composed of membrane proteins, the catalytic moiety of the enzyme adenylate cyclase, a guanyl nucleotide regulatory protein (or N protein), and other features ...

Alpha- and beta-adrenergic mediation of changes in metabolism and Na/K exchange in rat brown fat [PDF]
Double- and triple-barreled ion-sensitive microelectrodes were used to measure changes in extracellular K+ and Na+ concentrations ([K+]o, [Na+]o) in brown fat.

Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Blockade By Propranolol Enhances Retention In A Multitrial Passive-Avoidance Procedure [PDF]
The effect of beta -adrenergic receptor blockade on retention in a mildly aversive passive-avoidance procedure was investigated. Rats were given passive-avoidance training-1 trial per day for 4 days-and were administered saline, the centrally and ...

Functionally distinct and selectively phosphorylated GPCR subpopulations co-exist in a single cell. [PDF]
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce pleiotropic intracellular signals in a broad range of physiological responses and disease states. Activated GPCRs can undergo agonist-induced phosphorylation by G protein receptor kinases (GRKs) and second ...
