A Comparison of the Anorectic Effect and Safety of the Alpha2-Adrenoceptor Ligands Guanfacine and Yohimbine in Rats with Diet-Induced Obesity.

PLoS ONE 10 , e0141327, (2015)

The search for drugs with anorectic activity, acting within the adrenergic system has attracted the interest of researchers. Partial α2-adrenoceptor agonists might offer the potential for effective and safe treatment of obesity. We compared the effectiveness ...

Brimonidine reduces TGF-beta-induced extracellular matrix synthesis in human Tenon's fibroblasts.

BMC Ophthalmol. 15 , 54, (2015)

Brimonidine is a highly selective α2 adrenergic agonist that has been widely used in anti-glaucoma eyedrops. The aim of this study was to investigate its putative anti-fibrotic role in the fibrosis caused by activated Tenon's fibroblasts.Primary cultured huma...

Dilute brimonidine to improve patient comfort and subconjunctival hemorrhage after LASIK.

J. Refract. Surg. 29(7) , 469-75, (2013)

To investigate whether dilute brimonidine (0.025%) reduces patient discomfort, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and injection after LASIK without a significant increase in the rate of flap complications or surgical enhancements.This randomized, double-blind, prosp...

Adrenergic and serotonin receptors affect retinal superoxide generation in diabetic mice: relationship to capillary degeneration and permeability.

FASEB J. 29 , 2194-204, (2015)

Reactive oxygen species play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. We studied the role of adrenergic and serotonin receptors in the generation of superoxide by retina and 661W retinal cells in high glucose and of the α1-adrenergic rec...
