A patient is taking a beta3 adrenergic receptor antagonist. Which would you expect to decrease?
Nonshivering thermogenesis |
Sweat |
Decreased vasodilation |
Shivering thermogenesis |
Answer:
A) Non-shivering thermogenesis
Explanation: Nonshivering thermogenesis is an increase in metabolic heat production (above the basal metabolism) that is not associated with muscle activity.
- It occurs mainly through metabolism in brown fat and to a lesser degree also in skeletal muscle, liver, brain, and white fat.
β3 receptors are present in the gallbladder, urinary bladder, and in brown adipose tissue.
- Their role in gallbladder physiology is unknown, but they are thought to play a role in lipolysis and thermogenesis in brown fat.
- In the urinary bladder, it causes relaxation of the bladder and prevention of urination.

The selective α2 -adrenergic receptor antagonist ________________ is a good option for the treatment of depression in a patient suffering from cachexia.
Assuming that you had an agonist and an antagonist for every autonomic transmitter receptor, how could you determine which receptor types exist in any autonomically controlled effector? Using the method you defined in Question 1 and your knowledge of the Autonomic control of the function of the internal organs, predict the effects (increase, decrease, or no change) of the following autonomic agonists on heart rate (HR). AGONIST HR CHANGE alpha-adrenergic beta-adrenergic muscarinic nicotinic Using autonomic pharmacological agents, how could you...
Epinephrine is a ligand for the beta-adrenergic receptor. When activated the beta-adrenergic receptor undergoes a conformational change that results in the activation of the G protein GsLaTeX: \alpha α . Which of the following secondary messengers would you expect to be increased when epinephrine binds to a beta-adrenergic receptor? DAG cGMP cAMP Ca2+ phospholipase C IP3
