... (α 2 -AR) is lacking. Objectives: The present study was performed to evaluate the potential of clinically available antidepressants to reverse α 2 -AR-mediated contractile inhibition in rat vas deferens, in order to predict whether they can induce voiding impairment. Method: The effects of 18...

... prejunctional α 2 -adrenoceptor-mediated inhibition of neurogenic responses in the guinea pig atrium and rat vas deferens and produced postjunctional α 2 -adrenoceptor-mediated contraction of the canine saphenous vein. The α 2 -adrenoceptor antagonist, rauwolscine, blocked all the agonists at both pre...

Sinem Büyüknacar; Serpil Önder; Ergin Singirik Effects of the specific copper (I) chelator, neocuproine, on the purinergic and adrenergic components of nerve-evoked contractions were investigated in the prostatic rat vas deferens. Electrical field stimulation...

...S. Thomas Abraham; Mitchell Robinson; Peter J. Rice Chronic surgical denervation of the rat vas deferens leads to an enhanced contractile response of the tissue to norepinephrine in vitro. Norepinephrine produces a higher rate of protein kinase C translocation to the particulate fraction...
