adrenoceptor

Another adrenoceptor implicated in depression is the presynaptic a2-adrenoceptor.

Among them corynanthine is an alpha-1 adrenoceptor blocker.

The analogous hypokalaemia that may occur during treatment with β 2 adrenoceptor agonists has been explained in a similar manner.

Only -propranolol is a powerful adrenoceptor antagonist, whereas -propranolol is not.

Guanfacine, (preference for alpha2A-subtype of adrenoceptor)

Pharmacological analysis of beta adrenoceptor blockade-induced coronary blood flow redistribution in dogs using l-penbutolol.

Efaroxan (non-selective, binds to I receptor and α adrenoceptor)

It is an alpha-1 selective adrenoceptor antagonist with direct myocardial depression action; therefore, it results in no reflex tachycardia.

The alpha-2B adrenergic receptor (α adrenoceptor), is a G-protein coupled receptor.

Adrenergic receptors, again, play a key role in this symptom, as altered norepinephrine neurotransmission, an adrenoceptor agonist, contribute to the etiology of depression.

This effect is completely reversible, and is believed to be the result of alpha-1 adrenoceptor blockade in the longitudinal muscles of the vas deferens.

Yohimbine is more selective to α adrenoceptor; by blocking presynaptic α-adrenoceptors, it increases the release of norepinephrine thereby raising the blood pressure.

The alpha2 adrenoceptor agonist clonidine is used to counteract this withdrawal effect by decreasing adrenergic neurotransmission from the locus coeruleus.

There may prove to be groups of patients with LQTS in whom alpha rather than beta adrenoceptor stimulation is more arrhythmogenic and vice versa.

Therefore, it is difficult to interpret clozapine's effects on micturition volume in terms of spinal alpha adrenoceptor antagonism and possibly the supraspinal effects predominate.

ICI binds to the β subtype with at least 100 times greater affinity than β or β, the two other known subtypes of the beta adrenoceptor.

In patients with airways obstruction hypokalaemia induced by theophylline is compounded by concurrent treatment with β 2 adrenoceptor agonists and corticosteroids and by hypoxia.

In contrast, the β 2 adrenoceptor agonists, with which Memon compares theophylline, can have large effects on plasma glucose, accompanied by similar changes in plasma potassium concentrations.

The alpha-2C adrenergic receptor (α adrenoceptor), also known as ADRA2C, is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it.

This causes vasodilatation in blood vessels, due to its antagonistic effect at the alpha-1 adrenoceptor found in the walls of blood vessels, resulting in a drop in blood pressure.

In contrast to dopamine, fenoldopam is a selective D receptor agonist with no effect on beta adrenoceptors, although there is evidence that it may have some alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist activity.

Dysphoria, sedation, hypotension resulting from peripheral alpha adrenoceptor blockade, prolongation of QT interval which can lead to torsades de pointes, and extrapyramidal side effects such as dystonic reactions/neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Drugs: In particular, alcohol, nasal decongestants with adrenergic effects, NSAIDs, MAOIs, adrenoceptor stimulants, and combined methods of hormonal contraception (those containing ethinyl-estradiol) can cause hypertension while in use.

Either surgical option requires prior treatment with the non-specific and irreversible alpha adrenoceptor blocker Phenoxybenzamine (Irreversible blockade is important because a massive release of catecholamines from the tumor may overcome a reversible blockade).
