The Neuroendocrine Adrenergic System and Cardiovascular Function
Fig. 7.1 Interaction between the sympathetic nervous system, the adrenal gland, and the cardiovascular system in chronic heart failure. Under physiological conditions, sympathetic nerves innervating the heart release noradrenaline to…

The Adrenergic System in Vascular Smooth Muscle
Fig. 4.1 How the subclassification of adrenoceptors has developed since 1948 Further studies were hampered by the lack of an antagonist at β-adrenoceptors, until Powell and Slater [111] reported dichloroisoprenaline…
The Adrenergic System in Vascular Endothelial Cells
Fig. 3.1 Schematic representation of β2-AR signaling to eNOS and the role of the Gi–Src–Akt axis. See text for details and molecular acronym definitions. cAMP cyclic adenosine monophosphate, PKA protein…
The Adrenergic System of the Myocardium
Fig. 2.1 β-adrenergic receptor (AR) signaling in cardiac myocytes. The stimulation of β1-ARs and β2-ARs results in the activation of stimulatory G (Gs) proteins. Gs signaling, in turn, stimulates adenylate…
