1. In the present study, depletion of internal Ca2+ stores sensitive to noradrenaline (1 microM) in rat aorta, is the signal for the entry of extracellular Ca2+, not only to refill the stores but also, in our experimental conditions, to

Norepinephrine (NE) plays a complex role in the behavioral state-dependent regulation of sensory processing. However, the role of forebrain NE action in modulating high-order sensory activity has not been directly addressed. In this study, we take advantage of the discrete

1. We have tested the hypothesis that morphine withdrawal excitation of oxytocin neurones that follows from administration of naloxone to morphine-dependent rats is a consequence of excitation of noradrenergic neurones. 2. Female rats were made morphine dependent by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.)

Chronic intermittent cold stress sensitises activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis by novel acute stress. We have shown that enhanced noradrenergic function in limbic forebrain contributes to HPA sensitisation. In the present study, we investigated whether chronic intermittent cold also

1. The subtype of alpha1-adrenoceptor mediating contractions to phenylephrine of the rat thoracic aorta, mesenteric artery and pulmonary artery were investigated by use of antagonists which show selectivity between the cloned alpha1-adrenoceptor subtypes in binding studies. 2. Cumulative concentration-contraction curves
