Alpha-1 adrenergic receptors (α1-ARs) are a subset of G protein-coupled receptors that play a pivotal role in cardiovascular homeostasis. While traditionally recognised for their involvement in ...

The following studies were undertaken to develop a cultured uterine myocyte model which would allow further clarification of the adrenergic signal transduction mechanisms utilized by these myocytes.

In a new study, researchers report that a class of heart medications called beta-blockers can have a helpful, or harmful, effect on the heart, depending on their molecular activity. In a new study, ...

Epinephrine 0.15mg (1:2000); prefilled auto-injector; contains sulfites. Epinephrine acts on both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. Through its action on alpha-adrenergic receptors, epinephrine ...

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Many medications can help lower high blood pressure (hypertension), but no single one works best for everyone. The good news is, with some patience and help ...

Individuals with some forms of heart failure are treated with drugs that are known as beta-blockers because they target proteins known as beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs). Now, a potential ...

The physiological regulation of color changes in reptiles as studied in the lizard, Anolis carolinensis, is discussed. In Anolis, the ability to adapt to a background is dependent upon the level of ...
