Halothane-induced hypnosis is not accompanied by inactivation of orexinergic output in rodents.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: One underexploited property of anesthetics is their ability to probe neuronal regulation of arousal. At appropriate doses, anesthetics reversibly obtund conscious perception. However, individual anesthetic agents may accomplish this by ... Read more...

Retrograde viral vector-mediated inhibition of pontospinal noradrenergic neurons causes hyperalgesia in rats.

12 Oct 2009 Pontospinal noradrenergic neurons form a component of an endogenous analgesic system and represent a potential therapeutic target. We tested the principle that genetic manipulation of their excitability can alter nociception using an adenoviral ... Read more...

Cardiopulmonary effects of dobutamine and norepinephrine infusion in healthy anesthetized alpacas.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To characterize the cardiopulmonary effects of dobutamine and norepinephrine infusion in isoflurane-anesthetized healthy alpacas. ANIMALS: 8 adult alpacas. PROCEDURES: Initial baseline cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic variables ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Norepinephrine'

Definition: Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the adrenal medulla and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers and of the diffuse projection system in the brain arising from the locus ceruleus. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

Chemical name: 1,2-Benzenediol, 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-, (R)-

Registry Number: 51-41-2
