nordefrin and Muscle Contraction

nordefrin has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 12 studies

Nordefrin: A norepinephrine derivative used as a vasoconstrictor agent.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Benextramine was equipotent against the imidazoline, clonidine and the thiazoloazepine B-HT920, however, higher concentrations of benextramine were required for an equivalent non-competitive antagonism of the beta-phenethylamine, alpha-methylnoradrenaline."1.27The action and interaction of beta-phenethylamines and imidazolines on prejunctional alpha 2-adrenoceptors of guinea-pig ileum in the presence of the non-competitive antagonist benextramine. ( Mottram, DR; Thakar, Y, 1984)
" Urotensin I diminished the maximum increase in perfusion pressure and shifted the log dose-response curves to the right for all three agonists."1.27Differential antagonism of alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenoceptor-mediated pressor responses by urotensin I, a selective mesenteric vasodilator peptide. ( Bolt, GR; Itoh, H; Lederis, K; MacCannell, KL, 1987)
" Systemic administration of alpha-methyldopa to rats for 15 days shifted the log dose-response curves for all three catecholamines, but not vasopressin or potassium chloride, to the right of all three blood vessel types; the maximal contractile responses to these amines were, however, not affected by chronic treatment with alpha-methyldopa."1.25Pharmacological effects of alpha-methyldopa, alpha-methylnorepinephrine, and octopamine on rat arteriolar, arterial, and terminal vascular smooth. ( Altura, BM, 1975)
" Dose-response curves to norepinephrine were shifted to the left along the log dose axis (enhanced potency) and the maximum degree of contraction that could be elicited was increased."1.25Influence of temperature and cocaine on responses of the isolated mouse vas deferens to adrenergic amines. ( Bohuski, K; Buckner, CK; Ryan, CF, 1975)
