Interactions between the immune system and the nervous system have been described mostly in the context of diseases. More recent studies have begun to reveal how certain immune cell-derived soluble effectors, the cytokines, can influence host behaviour even in the absence of infection. In this Revi...
The a1-adrenoceptor blocker is thought to act on a1-receptors in the peripheral arterial wall to dilate vessels, which is the principal effect of this agent.266 If this blocker works purely as a vasodilator, reflex tachycardia will occur in response to hypotension and the antihypertensive actions...
