Accumulating evidence suggests that liver injury can be induced by the over-expression ofβ_(1)-adrenergic receptors(β_(1)-ARs).High titers of autoantibodies specific toβ_(1)-adrenergic receptors(β_(1)-AA)are detec...
Background: α1-Adrenoceptor blockers (α1Bs) are used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and hypertension, but they are known to cause hypotension-related adverse events. The objective of the present s...
Clonidine is a classically categorized α2-adrenoceptor (α2-AR) agonist that produces vascular contractions by stimulating arterial smooth muscle α2-ARs. However, clonidine inhibits α1-AR-mediated arterial contract...

Chiral drug naftopidil(NAF), a specific α1D-adrenoceptor(AR) antagonist for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, was used in racemic form for several decades. Our recent work declared that NAF enantiomers s...
The aim of this systematic review is to determine the comparative effectiveness and safety of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-1s) and (x-blockers used alone or combined for the treatment of lower urinary tract...
OBJECTIVE: Crassostrea gigas oyster extract has been reported to have antioxidant, antihypertensive and lipid-lowering properties that may be useful for treating cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate ...

Obstructive airway disease is a complex disease entity including several maladies characterized by bronchoconstriction and abnormal airway inflammation. Reversing bronchoconstriction leads to symptomatic relief and im...
Dear editor,Dr. Peter Drummond's article noted that peripheral nerve and tissue injury in neuropathic pain syndromes releases cytokines which in turn lead to an increase in alphal-adrenoceptor upreg- ulation, resulti...
