Ligands of Alpha‐1 Adrenergic Receptors: Common Signaling Pathway, but Different Sensitivity to Nitric Oxide in Sepsis

Abstract: We have shown that arteries present differential responses to α1 adrenergic receptors (α1ARs) agonists in sepsis (Bernardelli et al., Can J Physiol Pharmacol, 94, 1227–36, 2016). Indeed, in animals subjected to the cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) model of sepsis, activation of α1ARs by norepinephrine (NE) results in a small degree of hyporesponsiveness, compared with the responses generated by phenylephrine (PE). It is well known that increased amounts of nitric oxide (NO) are produced in sepsis. NO plays… Show more
