Beta-adrenergic stimulation and antidepressant activity

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica. Supplementum
Y LecrubierP Simon

Abstract

The results presented here, together with the literature data, support the noradrenergic hypothesis of depressive states, and especially the involvement of beta-adrenergic receptors: --In animals, beta stimulants have the same spectrum of activity as other antidepressants. --These effects of both classical antidepressants and beta-adrenergic stimulants are antagonized by beta blockers. --Chronic administration of antidepressants results in a decrease of beta receptors. --Salbutamol, a beta-adrenergic stimulant had, in depressed patients, a clear and rapid antidepressant effect.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
