Clonidine, guanfacine, guanabenz and alpha-methyl-dioxyphenylalanine (DOPA), the prototypes of centrally acting antihypertensives, are assumed to induce peripheral sympathoinhibition and a reduction in blood pressure via the stimulation of alpha2-adrenoceptors in the brain stem. More recently, central imidazoline (I1)-receptors have been

Drug-associated cues can elicit stress-like responses in addicted individuals, indicating that cue- and stress-induced drug relapse may share some neural mechanisms. It is unknown whether α(2) adrenergic receptor agonists, which are known to attenuate stress-induced reinstatement of drug seeking in

Classical centrally acting antihypertensive agents lower blood pressure by reducing excessive sympathetic tone; however, their clinical use is limited by an adverse effect profile resulting from alpha2-adrenoceptor agonism. Moxonidine is a new centrally acting agent showing selective agonism of imidazoline

The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) contains the presympathetic neurons involved in cardiovascular regulation that has been implicated as one of the most important central sites for the antihypertensive action of moxonidine (an α2-adrenergic and imidazoline agonist). Here, we sought to

We reported that inhibition of central sympathetic pools of imidazoline I(1) receptors abolishes the hypotensive effect of ethanol in rats with glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF). This study investigated whether adenosine receptors modulate the ethanol-I(1)-receptor interaction. The effect of selective
