Abstract

The DOCA-salt hypertension was shown to induce changes of different types in reactivity of the mesenteric artery and vein, acting on the contractility of the vessels rather than on the sensitivity of their receptor apparatus. The observed heterogeneity of the alpha-adrenoreceptors in the artery and the vein suggests that the artery's reactivity is under the control of both humoral and neurogenic factors, whereas the vein's reactivity is neurogenically controlled rather.

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.
