| Summary |
5 genotypes
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• unlike in wild-type mice, hyperglycemia cannot be induced by treatment with 3-iodothyronamine and/or 6-OH dopamine
|
|
• following treatment with 3-iodothyronamine
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• resting heart rate more than 180 beats/min greater than normal
|
|
• unlike wild-type controls, administration of the hypotensive agonist, dexmedetomidine, did not reduce blood pressure
|
|
• increased release at high frequency electrical stimulation
• decreased release at low frequency electrical stimulation
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• mice treated with epinephrine fail to reduce burst frequency of induced epileptiform activity unlike in control mice
|
|
• mice treated with epinephrine fail to reduce burst frequency of induced epileptiform activity unlike in control mice
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• triple homozygous mutant embryos died between E9.5-E11.5
|
| N |
• at E9.5, triple mutant embryos had a normal heart rate and a normal cardiac structure
|
|
• at E10.5, only moribund triple mutant embryos displayed bradycardia
• also, triple mutant embryos had normal concentrations of L-dopa and noradrenaline but exhibited a reduction in basal phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase-1 and -3
|
|
• the yolk sac of triple homozygous mutant embryos was less vascularized and appeared more translucent relative to wild-type
• the endothelial cells in the yolk sac were often detached from the visceral endoderm cell layer
|
|
• triple mutant mice displayed a significantly reduced density of fetal blood vessels in the placental vascular labyrinth, which leads to embryonic lethality as a result of limited oxygen and nutrient supply
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
• double homozygous mutant mice displayed increased plasma noradrenaline concentrations and developed cardiac hypertrophy with reduced left ventricular contractility by 4 months of age
|
|
• the inhibitory effect of brimonidine on norepinephrine release was completely abolished in double homozygous mutant mice
• additional experiments in double homozygous mutant mice demonstrated that ADRA2A inhibits transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas ADRA2C regulates release at lower levels; both subtypes are, however, required for normal presynaptic control of neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons
|
|
• double homozygous mutant mice displayed increased plasma noradrenaline concentrations and developed cardiac hypertrophy with reduced left ventricular contractility by 4 months of age
