Adrenergic drugs are medications that stimulate certain nerves in your body. They do this either by mimicking the action of the chemical messengers epinephrine and norepinephrine or by stimulating ...

Beta-adrenergic signaling mechanisms are of central importance to cardiovascular health and disease. Modulation of these pathways represents an important pharmacologic approach to the treatment of ...

The addition of β-adrenergic antagonists to the treatment regimen for heart failure has validated the neurohormonal hypothesis and provided much-improved outcomes. This benefit had been in question ...

Noradrenaline is a neuromodulator secreted in the brain depending on behavioral context and physiological states of animal, influencing a wide range of physiological functions by modulating brain ...

IN patients with atrial arrhythmias the ventricular rate is primarily determined by the frequency of atrial-impulse generation and the functional refractory period of the atrioventricular node. It is ...

The adrenergic nervous system controls when white blood cells circulate through the body, boosting the immune response by retaining T and B cells in lymph nodes at the time of day when they are most ...

Noradrenergic transmission is implicated in the biochemical and behavioral effects of cocaine. Recently, we demonstrated that the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor antagonist prazosin attenuates ...

The following studies were undertaken to develop a cultured uterine myocyte model which would allow further clarification of the adrenergic signal transduction mechanisms utilized by these myocytes.
