Abstract

1. Tested against the spontaneous tone of guinea-pig isolated trachealis, cromakalim (0.1-100 microM), isoprenaline (1 nM-1 microM) and theophylline (1 microM-1 mM) each produced concentration-dependent relaxation. 2. Glibenclamide (0.1-10 microM) did not itself alter the spontaneous tone of the trachea nor did it modify the relaxant actions of isoprenaline or theophylline. In contrast, glibenclamide (0.1 and 1 microM) caused a concentration-dependent rightward shift of the log concentration-effect curve of cromakalim. Glibenclamide (10 microM) reduced the slope of the log concentration-effect curve of cromakalim and moved the foot of the curve back towards the control position. 3. Phentolamine (1, 10 and 100 microm) did not itself alter the spontaneous tone of the trachea nor did it modify the relaxant actions of isoprenaline or theophylline. In contrast phentolamine caused concentration-dependent depression of the log concentration-effect curve of cromakalim. 4. Neither prazosin (1 microM) nor yohimbine (10 microM) modified the spontaneous tone of the trachea. Prazosin and yohimbine each failed to antagonise the effects of cromakalim, isoprenaline and theophylline. 5. Intracellular electrophysiological recording showed that g...Continue Reading

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.
