Adrenoceptor

The white line response is reminiscent of white dermographism and adrenoceptor mediated blanching. ❋ Heather McDougal (2009)

As far as I can tell, "adrenoceptor mediated blanching" is the kind of blanching we experience when we are stressed - in other words, they are tied into the fight-or-flight reflex, and are associated with the sympathetic nervous system, which is connected to the same response. ❋ Heather McDougal (2009)

Brian Pritchard, clinical pharmacologist at University College, London, spearheaded the clinical development of the beta-adrenoceptor antagonists and crusaded on their behalf - as well as revolutionising their use by his discovery of their antihypertensive effect. ❋ Unknown (1989)

The histamine project, modelled by analogy with the beta-adrenoceptor project, was also somewhat controversial at the beginning. ❋ Unknown (1989)

Ahlqvist's dual adrenoceptor hypothesis, of finding a specific adrenaline receptor antagonist. ❋ Unknown (1989)

Pharmacological studies revealed that the active constituent possesses beta adrenoceptor agonist activity (other beta adrenoceptor agonists include compounds like ephedrine and clenbuterol) and stimulates lipolysis in subcutaneous fat cells. ❋ Amp;34; (2010)

Yet another similarity that the Cirsium oligophyllum extract shares with beta adrenoceptor agonists is that it works synergistically with caffeine, producing a more powerful lipolytic effect that far exceeds the effect when used by itself (5). ❋ Amp;34; (2010)

Of course, the fact that T3 can up-regulate beta adrenoceptor expression while down-regulating alpha 2-adrenoceptor expression, all while inhibiting phosphodiesterase (i.e., an enzyme that breaks down cAMP) activity further adds to increase or potentiate the effectiveness of the other ingredients (33). ❋ Amp;34; (2010)

Secondly, Cirsium oligophyllum has beta adrenoceptor agonist activity and, as would be expected, has actually been shown to increase UCP-1 activity in BAT of an animal model ❋ Amp;34; (2010)

It's related to yohimbine, a compound which is often included in various fat loss formulas because of its ability to antagonize alpha 2-adrenoceptors, allowing lipolysis itself, while also allowing lipolysis to continue from beta adrenoceptor agonism as well (11,12). ❋ Amp;34; (2010)

"The finding that estrogens interact synergistically with adrenoceptor signaling (perhaps using common pathways) to facilitate bronchodilation was exciting, and lends itself to further studies on interactions between sex steroids and beta-2-agonists". ❋ Unknown (2010)

Conclusions The use of β adrenoceptor agonists or multiple tocolytics for preventing preterm birth is associated with a high incidence of serious adverse drug reactions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There are various types of beta-blockers (beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Compared with atosiban, the relative risk of an adverse drug reaction for single treatment with a β adrenoceptor agonist was ❋ Unknown (2009)

The functional response measured was hypothermia that was induced by brimonidine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In the absence of desipramine pretreatment, the alpha-2 adrenoceptor-induced hypothermic effect in juvenile rats is greater than in adult rats. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Brimonidine, alone, lowered rectal temperature to a greater extent in juvenile than in adult rats, and this response was dose-dependently blocked by the selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist, RX821002, in both groups of rats. ❋ Unknown (2008)
