Possible modulatory effect of endogenous islet catecholamines on insulin secretion.

BMC endocrine disorders

Borelli MI, Gagliardino JJ.
PMID: 11696250
BMC Endocr Disord. 2001;1(1):1. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-1-1.

BACKGROUND: The possible participation of endogenous islet catecholamines (CAs) in the control of insulin secretion was tested. METHODS: Glucose-induced insulin secretion was measured in the presence of 3-Iodo-L-Tyrosine (MIT), a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-hydroxylase activity, in fresh and precultured...

Determination of idazoxan in plasma by radioreceptor assay.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis

Lane AC, Nichols JD, Steel ND, Sugden K, Walter DS.
PMID: 16867344
J Pharm Biomed Anal. 1988;6(6):787-92. doi: 10.1016/0731-7085(88)80092-x.

A radioreceptor assay to determine the plasma concentration of idazoxan, a potent, highly selective antagonist for the alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor, is described. The assay is based upon a technique in which plasma extracts containing idazoxan compete with radiolabelled ligand for binding...

Analgesic efficacy of CR4056, a novel imidazoline-2 receptor ligand, in rat models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

Journal of pain research

Ferrari F, Fiorentino S, Mennuni L, Garofalo P, Letari O, Mandelli S, Giordani A, Lanza M, Caselli G.
PMID: 21647215
J Pain Res. 2011;4:111-25. doi: 10.2147/JPR.S18353. Epub 2011 Apr 18.

Two decades of investigations have failed to unequivocally clarify the functions and the molecular nature of imidazoline-2 receptors (I2R). However, there is robust pharmacological evidence for the functional modulation of monoamino oxidase (MAO) and other important enzyme activities by...

Stimulation of Alpha-Adrenoceptors Facilitates the Release of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone from Rat Hypothalamus in vitro.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Tsagarakis S, Ge F, Rees LH, Besser GM, Grossman A.
PMID: 19210470
J Neuroendocrinol. 1989 Apr 01;1(2):129-33. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1989.tb00091.x.

Abstract While extensive evidence suggests that adrenoceptors play an important role in the control of growth hormone in the rat, there are few studies involving the direct measurement of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). We have therefore developed a radioimmunoassay...

Acute and chronic idazoxan in normal volunteers: biochemical, physiological and psychological effects.

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England)

Glue P, Wilson S, Lawson C, Campling GM, Franklin M, Cowen PJ, Nutt DJ.
PMID: 22282849
J Psychopharmacol. 1991 Jan;5(4):396-403. doi: 10.1177/026988119100500434.

The acute and chronic effects of the selective a(2)-antagonist idazoxan were studied in 12 normal volunteers. Plasma 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol (MHPG), blood pressure and psychological responses to oral challenge doses of idazoxan 40 mg were measured twice, on the first...

Specific α2-adrenoreceptor antagonists induce behavioural activation in the rat.

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England)

Dickinson SL, Gadie B, Tulloch IF.
PMID: 22282933
J Psychopharmacol. 1990 Jan;4(2):90-9. doi: 10.1177/026988119000400207.

The behavioural effects of the specific and selective α(2)-adrenoreceptor antagonists, idazoxan, efaroxan and RX811059, have been investigated in the rat. All three drugs induced periods of behavioural activation characterized by increased locomotion and exploration (rearing and hole dipping). However,...

Estradiol regulates the number of ?(1) but not ? or ?(2) noradrenergic receptors in hypothalamus of female rats.

Neurochemistry international

Etgen AM, Karkanias GB.
PMID: 20504534
Neurochem Int. 1990;16(1):1-9. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(90)90117-c.

Present experiments examined whether previously observed hormone-dependent differences in norepinephrine-stimulated cAMP accumulation in hypothalamic and preoptic area slices are attributable to differences in noradrenergic receptor number or binding affinity. When compared to ovariectomized controls, hypothalamic and preoptic area membranes...

Identification of ?(2) adrenergic receptors in human frontal cortex membranes by binding of [(3)H]RX 821002, the 2-methoxy analog of [(3)H]idazoxan.

Neurochemistry international

Vauquelin G, De Vos H, De Backer JP, Ebinger G.
PMID: 20504656
Neurochem Int. 1990;17(4):537-46. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(90)90041-q.

The antagonist [(3)H]idazoxan binds with comparable affinity to ?(2) adrenergic receptors and to phentolamine-displaceable non-stereoselective sites in human frontal cortex membranes. In contrast, idazoxan analogs possessing alkyl and alkoxy substituents at the 2-position of the benzodioxan moiety (i.e. RX...

The efficacy of combination treatment of gabapentin and electro-acupuncture on paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain.

The Korean journal of physiology & pharmacology : official journal of the Korean Physiological Society and the Korean Society of Pharmacology

Kim MJ, Lee JH, Jang JU, Quan FS, Kim SK, Kim W.
PMID: 29200909
Korean J Physiol Pharmacol. 2017 Nov;21(6):657-666. doi: 10.4196/kjpp.2017.21.6.657. Epub 2017 Oct 30.

Paclitaxel, a chemotherapeutic drug, induces severe peripheral neuropathy. Gabapentin (GBT) is a first line agent used to treat neuropathic pain, and its effect is mediated by spinal noradrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Electro-acupuncture (EA) is used for treating various...

Alpha1-adrenergic antagonists block 6-nitrodopamine contractions on the rat isolated epididymal vas deferens.

European journal of pharmacology

Britto-Júnior J, Ribeiro A, Ximenes L, Lima AT, Jacintho FF, Fregonesi A, Mónica FZ, Antunes E, De Nucci G.

Eur J Pharmacol. 2021 Dec 21;174716. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174716. Epub 2021 Dec 21.

6-nitrodopamine (6-ND) is released from rat isolated vas deferens and modulates electrical-field stimulation (EFS) contractions of the rat isolated epididymal vas deferens (RIEVD) via a specific receptor which is blocked by tricyclic antidepressants. Here, the effects of selective α

Biomed Rep. 2018 May;8(5):407-416. doi: 10.3892/br.2018.1075. Epub 2018 Mar 09.

The sympathetic nervous system is known to regulate osteoclast development. However, the involvement of α2-adrenergic receptors (α2-ARs) in osteoclastogenesis is not well understood. In the present study, their potential role in osteoclastogenesis was investigated. Guanabenz, clonidine and xylazine were...

J Psychopharmacol. 1996 Jan;10(4):273-8. doi: 10.1177/026988119601000403.

2-(2-Benzofuranyl)-2-imidazoline, RX801077 (2-BFI) which has high affinity for imidazoline I(2) binding sites and very low aflinity for α(2)-adrenoceptors, has been investigated for its ability to produce a discriminative stimulus (cue) in drug-discrimination studies in rats since the existence of...
