of ATP and NA. Soluble nucleotidases are released from nerve varicosities, and are also present as ectonucleotidases. (Reproduced fromBurnstock, 2009e, with permission from Elsevier.) (B) A classic transmitter (ACh) coexists with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in parasympathetic nerves ...
The low frequency/high frequency ratio, an index of parasympathetic nerve activity, decreased in response to azelnidipine but not amlodipine treatment. In response to chronic treatment, proteinuria and glomerular injury improved to a greater extent with azelnidipine compared with amlodipine. The ...
The ganglion impar is formed by the fusion of the right and left sympathetic chains receiving inputs from lumbar and sacral sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers [23,26]. It is located anterior to the sacrococcygeal junction and posterior to the rectum and helps provide innervation to pelvic visce...
Sympathetic overactivity contributes to the pathogenesis of sepsis. The selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist dexmedetomidine (DEX) is widely used for perioperative sedation and analgesia. We aimed to determine the central roles and mechanisms of DEX
In the human, autonomic nerve fibers derive from two sources: sympathetic and, rarely, parasympathetic neurons [1]. The sympathetic innervations of the skin was characterized in humans [2–4] and other mammals, such as the rat [5], guinea pig [6], cat [7], rabbit [8], dog [9] ...
