Abstract excerpt
1. Several mouse strains have been prepared in which different subtypes of the alpha1-adrenoceptor (AR) are overexpressed or deleted. The phenotypes of the animals generated vary depending on whether the receptors are expressed specifically in heart or generally throughout the animal, but some overall conclusions can be drawn. 2. Heightened activity of alpha1B-AR by overexpressing the receptors leads to depressed...
