How can you use “adrenergic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The sympathetic nervous innervation is split into two portions: postganglionic adrenergic nerves that synapse on blood vessels and the smooth muscle that surround the alveoli, and sympathetic cholinergic nerves that innervate the glandular epithelium.
This approach involves the use of a drug-inducible chimeric receptor consisting of the extracellular and transmembrane spanning portions derived from the hamster β 2 adrenergic receptor (β 2 AR) and the intracellular domains derived from Rfz-2.
It is commonly believed that hypokalemia identified during the acute phase of SAH is caused by a catecholamine surge following SAH [ 2 ] . In healthy male volunteers, Brown and coworkers [ 5 ] demonstrated that serum infused adrenaline (epinephrine) caused excessive activation of the sodium/potassium-ATPase (Na +/K +-ATPase; Na +/K +pump) as a result of β 2 -adrenergic receptor stimulation; this resulted in trafficking of potassium ions from extracellular to intracellu-lar spaces, leading to a decrease in serum potassium levels.
There are three subtypes of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor: alpha-2A; alpha-2B; and alpha-2C [ 15 ] . The human alpha-2A subtype undergoes phosphorylation and short-term desensitization [ 11 12 ] , whereas the human alpha-2C subtype is not phosphorylated [ 16 ] and does not desensitize [ 11 ] . The human alpha-2C subtype, however, does undergo arrestin-dependent internalization [ 17 ] . Many studies [ 11 18 ] , including those from our laboratory [ 10 19 20 ] , have demonstrated agonist-induced down-regulation of alpha-2 receptors, although much less is known about the specific mechanisms for down-regulation as compared to the beta-2 receptor.
Modification of the EESSTSE to EESSVAE was sufficient to prevent down-regulation of the opossum alpha-2C adrenergic receptor.
