Parent topics
Subtopics
- Adrenergic receptor [r]: Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. [e]
- Adrenal gland [r]: A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two kidneys. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the adrenal cortex producing glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids and the adrenal medulla producing neurotransmitters. [e]
- Adrenal insufficiency [r]: Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by disease, suppression by drugs, destruction, or surgical removal of the adrenal cortices. [e]
- Adrenergic agent [r]: Drugs that act on adrenergic receptors or affect the life cycle of adrenergic transmitters. [e]
- Adrenergic beta-agonist [r]: Class of drugs used to treat asthma and other pulmonary disease states. [e]
- Adrenergic uptake inhibitor [r]: Drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine by blocking the action of the norepinephrine transporter. [e]
