Volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) play an important role in cell-volume regulation. alpha(1)-Adrenoceptor stimulation by phenylephrine (PE) suppressed the hypotonic activation of VRAC current in mouse ventricular cells and regulatory volume decrease (RVD) was also absent in PE-treated cells. We examined
We examined the effect of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtype-specific stimulation on L-type Ca2+ current (I(Ca)) and elucidated the subtype-specific intracellular mechanisms for the regulation of L-type Ca2+ channels in isolated rat ventricular myocytes. We confirmed the protein expression of alpha(1A)- and alpha(1B)-adrenoceptor
Activation of the descending noradrenergic system inhibits nociceptive transmission in the spinal cord. Although both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-adrenoceptors in the spinal cord are involved in the modulation of nociceptive transmission, it is not clear how alpha(1)-adrenoceptors regulate excitatory and inhibitory

We evaluated the effectiveness of intrathecal antagonists of α1- (WB4101) and α2- (idazoxan) adrenoceptors and serotonergic (methysergide), opioid (naloxone), muscarinic (atropine), GABA(A) (bicuculline) and GABA(B) (phaclofen) receptors in blocking 2- or 100-Hz electroacupuncture (EA)-induced analgesia (EAIA) in the rat tail-flick

Unichiral 8-substituted analogues of 2-[(2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)ethyl)aminomethyl]-1,4-benzodioxane (WB4101) were synthesized and tested for binding affinity at cloned human α(1a)-, α(1b)-and α(1d)-adrenoreceptor (α(1a)-, α(1b)-and α(1d)-AR) and at native rat 5-HT(1A) receptor and for antagonist affinity at α(1A)-, α(1B)-and α(1D)-AR and at α(2A/D)-AR.
