Yes it is. Its principal mechanism of action relies on its indirect action on the adrenergic receptor system. The vasoconstriction that pseudoephedrine produces is believed to be principally an α-adrenergic receptor response.
What else can I help you with?
If a cell has alpha adrenergic receptors is it sensitive to norepinephrine?
Yes, a cell with alpha adrenergic receptors is sensitive to norepinephrine. Activation of alpha adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine can lead to various physiological responses, such as vasoconstriction, pupil dilation, and increased glycogen breakdown.
What are the properties of the alpha adrenergic receptors?
The alpha adrenergic receptors are located in the effector organs of sympathetic nervous system. They are the most common type of alpha adrenergic receptor. Alpha adrenergic receptors tend to be excitatory. They have a greater affinity for nonepinephrine than epinephrine.
What is the difference between an alpha blocker and an alpha-adrenergic blocker?
There is no difference :)
What are the 4 types of adrenergic receptors?
alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
Epinephrine has an affinity to what recepotor?
Epinephrine has an affinity for adrenergic receptors, particularly alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in the sympathetic nervous system.
Are Alpha adrenergic effects usually stimulatory and mediatory?
yes, true
Are Alpha-adrenergic effects usually stimulatory and mediatory?
yes, true
Stimulation of alpha-adrenergic receptors results in?
constriction of the blood vessels
Is epinephrine an adrenergic agonist?
Yes, epinephrine is an adrenergic agonist. It acts on adrenergic receptors in the body, particularly on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, to increase heart rate, dilate airways, and constrict blood vessels.
Do Alpha adrenergic effects dominate the direct control of blood pressure?
Yes
What receptors bind norepinephrine and epinephrine?
Norepinephrine and epinephrine primarily bind to adrenergic receptors in the body, specifically alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. These receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and facilitate the body's "fight or flight" response.
What is an alpha-blocker?
An alpha-blocker is a drug which blocks a1-adrenergic receptors in arteries and smooth muscles, and is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis.
