...Shang-Mian Yie; Gregor M. Brown Several studies have shown sex hormone effects on pineal function. In order to clarify the role of adrenergic mechanisms in these effects, we investigated the pineal response to adrenergic stimulation and pineal β-adrenergic receptors following castration and/or sex...

...Felino Ramon A. Cagampang; Satoshi Ohkura; Hiroko Tsukamura; Clive W. Coen; Katsuaki Ôta; Kei-Ichiro Maeda It has been previously reported that the adrenergic system is involved in the control of feeding behavior and LH release. In the present study, the role of the adrenergic receptors...

... significant effects on LHRH release. We conclude from these results that (1) the stimulatory effects of norepinephrine (NE) and/or epinephrine on pulsatile LHRH release are mediated by αi -adrenergic receptors but not α 2 or β-adrenergic receptors, and (2) dopaminergic receptors do not appear to be involved...

...Bai-ge Zhao; Christopher Chapman; David Brown; John Bicknell The function of noradrenaline in the rat neurohypophysis was investigated by examining the effects of selective adrenergic receptor agents on electrically evoked release of oxytocin, arginine vasopressin, and noradrenaline using the [ 3 H...
