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

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. Among

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
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

The medial amygdaloid nucleus (MeA) is involved in the modulation of physiological and behavioral processes, as well as regulation of the autonomic nervous system. Moreover, MeA electrical stimulation evokes cardiovascular responses. Thus, as noradrenergic receptors are present in this structure
