Feedback inhibition of catecholamine release by two different alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes prevents progression of heart failure.
BACKGROUND: Elevated plasma norepinephrine levels are associated with increased mortality in patients and in animal models with chronic heart failure. To test which alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes operate as presynaptic inhibitory receptors to control norepinephrine release in heart failure, we invest...
